From Monty Jay comes a dark and emotionally charged romance where obsession turns ruthless and love becomes a catalyst for vengeance.

She believed her love could save him. Protect him from the darkness closing in.

She was wrong.

As the copycat killer draws closer, leaving a trail of bodies behind, the threat becomes impossible to ignore—and impossible to escape. Every move feels deliberate. Every step brings the danger closer to home.

Closer to them.

But when the unthinkable happens and he is taken from her, everything changes. The person she fought to protect is left broken, and the fragile hope she once held onto is replaced with something far more dangerous.

Vengeance.

With time running out and no clear answers, she steps into the darkness she once feared, determined to uncover the truth and make those responsible pay. This time, it isn’t just the Hollow Boys seeking justice.

It’s her.

As grief turns into fury and love twists into something unrecognisable, she embraces the role she never wanted—but was always destined for.

Because if they wanted a villain…

She’s ready to become one.

About the Author

Monty Jay is a dark romance author with titles published in multiple countries. Their books are for hopeless romantics with wicked hearts looking for their next morally grey hero.
