~Synopsis~
The twist of a knife shredded Niko Kincaid’s world all around him, leaving him with two choices—accept his fate and die, or fight to live.
He chose to fight, but the aftermath became a daily reminder, carved into his once flawless flesh.
Despite years of self-imposed solitude, Niko hungers for companionship and suffers from an aching loneliness that the darkness cannot satisfy. He temporarily soothes his pain with women, hired women, whose only purpose is to service him. Easy.
He didn’t expect a complication like Cambree Evans, but desperation corrupts even the most innocent.
When emotions blend with lust, will Cambree's softness and ability to look past Niko's flaws be the one thing that releases him from his own personal hell?
Will the monster in the dark prove that his savaged heart is worth saving?
REVIEW BY MAZZY OBSESSED BY BOOKS
I received an arc in exchange for an honest review
This book is one hell of a emotional roller-coaster add in the suspense, mystery and romance its a great read.
There is really a lesson to be learnt by this book as not everyone agrees what beauty is, don't always judge a book by its cover.
If you are in a dark place there is always someone there to bring you into the light.
A great read
Excerpt. (unedited)
“I’m not scared of
you,” Cambree’s voice is fragile and shaky when she finally speaks. “I’m scared
of the dark.”
The admission almost
brings me to my knees. I’ve never known someone to be so honest, especially in
my home, where I control everything right down to the temperature, the mood,
the lighting. She is not frightened because she is about to screw a complete
stranger. She is simply scared of the dark like a child. Yet the thought of her
being so forthcoming doesn’t irk me, it makes me feel normal, if only for a few
seconds.
“I cannot help you
there, Miss Evans. You see…I am the darkness. With me you have to accept that
and move on. If that isn’t something you can become accustomed to, then I am
afraid our business deal has ended before we gave it a chance to really
blossom.”
My movement makes
a creaking sound as I step forward on the hardwood floor. I can hear her
breathing growing more erratic as I near. The smell of jasmine fills my
nostrils. The scent is heavenly. “If you want to leave, you know where the door
is.” I hope she doesn’t want to flee my presence already.
Unlike my new guest, my
eyes are used to the dark. Where she fights to see me, I can see her
silhouette perfectly and I use it to my advantage
to drink her up. Cambree stays mute, her body swaying back and forth, her feet
firmly glued to the floor.
“I don’t understand why
you have the lights off. That wasn’t explained to me,” Cambree probes.
“I assume that you read
our agreement very carefully?” I ask, taking another step in her direction,
wondering why she is wondering such imprudent things.
“Yes. Yes, I did. But
never once did it mention anything about the lights.”
My voice now
exasperated drifts like fog in the air. “I hired you under the pretense that
you while you’re here, with me, under my roof, you play by my rules. Rule
number one, I like the lights off. I understand now, that you are frightened of
the dark, and I do not wish for you to be afraid. Next time, I give you my word
to try and be more accommodating to your fears. Now, shall we?”
