The Ink Beneath

Lucas doesn't fit the usual serial killer profile. At fifteen he took his first life, and now, twenty years later, he's perfected the art of control. Solitary. Precise. Untouchable... Until her.

Jas is light, laughter, and mischief wrapped around quiet strength. The water loving Barista never expected danger to come knocking... let alone a man who turns her body and mind inside out.

When a masked stranger crashes into her life in the most unexpected, life-saving way, everything shifts. What should terrify her instead ignites something deeper - something she can't explain and can't ignore.

He can't stay away.

She can't forget him.

But as the truth edges closer to the surface, the line between protector and predator begins to blur.

Because some monsters don't hide in the dark.

Some are the ones you trust.

And when the truth is finally exposed -

will she run...

or will she fall?
