What if you were the villain in your own love story?

People always say life is short. That you should enjoy every moment because you never know when your time is up.

But I do.

I know exactly when your time’s up, but I’ll never tell.

Serial killer, murderer, executioner – call me what you want.

You’ll never see me coming. You’ll never know my name. I work in the shadows, exacting my revenge on the men who’ve wronged society.

Until I meet her.

Innocent.

Beautiful.

And completely off-limits for a man like me.

However, I can’t stop. I need her like my last breath. I’m always there, lurking in the night, watching, waiting for the perfect moment I can make her mine.

And I will do anything to keep her…

*Author’s Note: This is a dark romance with many dark themes and situations. There is no hero, only a villain who serves his own twisted game of vigilante justice. PLEASE check TW/CW on the inside of the book. This book includes an OTT stalker, serial killer, anti-hero. Please check trigger warnings.

BLURB
From USA Today Bestselling contemporary romance author Evan Grace, comes a brand-new touching story about second chances and the jagged road to forgiveness.

The weight of the world sits heavy on my shoulders. The men in my life have left me broken and bruised. I know that I have to dig deep to find the strength to pick up the pieces and move on. However, there is just one problem, or one man standing in my way.

Hank Burns.
My ex-husband.

It's been five years since our divorce. I lost everything back then, and if I'm being honest, I've just been going through the motions. I just want to be alone, I want to salvage the pieces of me that are left and move on, but Hank is adamant that we give us another try. Can I really start over with the man who broke my heart into a million pieces?

When we were together, I thought that he and I could handle anything. It was us and our love against the word. Life, unfortunately, had other plans, and we experienced a tragic loss before we ever got to test our us vs. the world fairytale.

Life once again intervenes and brings us back together, but the demons from our pasts threaten to move in and ruin everything. Now it seems as though our second chance could be taken from us too.

Good thing we’re both prepared to fight for our happily ever after.

In this captivating romance, the lines of love are blurred, and every decision has a consequence. For Elizabeth Fairchild, choosing between her three best friends becomes a life-altering decision that changes everything.

When I was a young girl, I met Jayson, Julien, and Ryder, and they became my world. As we grew older, feelings changed, and our friendships became… complicated. Falling in love with your best friend was hard enough. Falling in love with two of them? It had disaster written all over it.

PAPER STARS REWRITTEN

Paper Stars Rewritten is the heart-pounding second installment of the Fallen Brook Series.

It’s funny how life plays out sometimes. I think the ancient Greeks had it right with their belief that the Fates controlled everyone’s destinies. Those fickle Fate b*tches. They’ve been pulling the strings of my life and tying them into twisted knots since the day I met Jayson, Ryder, and Julien.

It’s been over a year since I saw them. A year after everything was taken from me. But I’m not the same girl I was before. I’m not the same girl they remember.

If life offered you a second chance at love, how hard would you fight to claim it? My love story just got rewritten.

I have a book hangover after this!” - Julie David
