Skyler (Sky) Teagan
28, damaged, burlesque dancer… that is when I'm not breaking into people's houses or knocking them unconscious at dinner parties.

I'll be the first to admit it. I'm damaged. I have issues. I have a lot of pent-up anger and hostility, especially when it comes to bullies or guys who try and exert their dominance over me. Take this guy Patrick for instance. Yes, he may be a scary Irish thug with an eight-pack and muscles the size of my head, but I'm the expert gymnast who knocked him unconscious and left him tied naked to his bed.

Patrick O'Maley
31, Irish, professional torturer… well, I prefer "Information Extractor", sounds less brutish and medieval.

Hey, it's not my fault! When a child grows up knowing only pain and betrayal, can you really blame him when he grows up to become a monster? I like pain. I'm good at making people scream. Those unlucky enough to join me in my playroom quickly discover that there are only two ways their visit will end: one with the loss of blood and broken bones, the other with the loss of their life.

But when a secret I've kept hidden all these years brings me to the City of Sin, I can't help but face my greatest challenge: a feisty little burlesque dancer wearing a sexy mesh top and tight leather pants. Oh, don't be fooled. Under that silky smooth skin and gorgeous blue eyes lives a dangerous and vengeful predator. One just as damaged as me and just as sexy.

This is an MM thriller/dark romance filled with plenty of heat, steam, violence, and mayhem.
