His prison sentence is over. Her obsession is just beginning.
Twenty-two-year-old Charlotte has everything she’s supposed to want: a stable home, a respectable husband in Jason, and a predictable future. But “predictable” is just another word for boring, and the cracks in her quiet life begin to spider-web the moment Jason’s father, Nick, walks through their front door.
After twelve years in maximum security, Nick is a man defined by the iron that failed to break him. He is fifty years of rugged muscle, silver-threaded hair, and a rap sheet that should make Charlotte run for cover. Instead, his presence acts like a match to a fuse. While Jason is the man who follows every rule, Nick is the man who broke them all—and he’s looking at Charlotte with a hunger that says he isn’t finished yet.
What starts as a wary truce in a shared house devolves into a series of illicit encounters behind closed doors. From the laundry room to the master bedroom, Charlotte finds herself addicted to the dangerous thrill of her father-in-law’s touch.
But it’s only a matter of time before the predator returns to his hunt. As Nick reclaims his place in the city’s underworld, Charlotte discovers that a man like him doesn’t change—he just waits for the right moment to strike. She must make a choice: stay in the light with the man she promised to love or follow her father-in-law into a life of high-stakes crime, luxury, and a passion so dark it might destroy them all.
