LIVI’ve always been a healer, a saver of lives, until the day my life is taken from me. A drunk driver destroyed my life and got away with a slap on the wrist.

Where children used to be happy to see me, they now run from me.

I want him to pay, to suffer just like I’m suffering. I want him dead.

I used to be scared of my neighbor. But since the switch in me is flipped and I’ve become this monster, I’m drawn to him like a moth is drawn to a flame. He’ll burn me – just like the flame will turn the moth into nothing but ashes – and I’m okay with that as long as I get my revenge. 

MASON

I deal in death. Killer. Assassin. Mercenary. I go by many names.

I miss the smell of baking that used to come from her apartment. I see the hate festering in her eyes, killing the light that shone so bright. It lit the darkness in me.

I used to be a killer until that car hit her. It woke something in me, a need to save her.

How does a wolf save a lamb without the darkness in him devouring the little light that’s left in her?

*** This is an over the top, insta-love, hot as hell HEA with a twist of kinkiness. HEA are always more satisfying when the characters have to fight for it. If you’re looking for a jaw-dropping, panty-melting page turner then jump right in. This is a Standalone Novella with NO cheating. ***
Olivia is a pediatric nurse and loves her job helping children when they need it most.  Mason is her neighbor, a mysterious man who doesn’t really relate to others and who she’s afraid of.
When an accident changes her life and the outcome threatens to sink her in the deepest depression, Mason will be the one to help her and try to rescue what is still left of the woman she once was.
This is a short story about deeply conflicted people who find each other in a time of need.  It’s a fast read, well written, with some drama and sexy moments.  I honestly was expecting something different than what it was, but it was a decent read with a HEA.
