But shadows are gathering around them - Devon's would-be kidnapper is still on the loose, a serial killer carrying rage from a twisted past threatens the lair - and most of all, Tanner and Devon are losing themselves to the heat between them. But staying so close means their hunger can no longer be denied - they know their demons won't accept the match, but after one red-hot night they'll fight to stay together for as long as they can. When Devon is nearly kidnapped, Tanner's protective instincts kick into overdrive - he's sticking by her side, day and night. With the birth of their son, Asher, Harper and Knox are both more powerful and more vulnerable than they've ever been before. It's driving them - and their long-suffering friends Harper and Knox - mad. The fourth book in Suzanne Wright's globally bestselling The Dark in You series is not to be missed. Unfortunately, their demons' antipathy towards each other is matched only by the red-hot sexual tension between Tanner and Devon. Which, to be fair, makes sense since hellcats and hellhounds aren't exactly a match made in heaven. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As Girard shows, in life Louverture was not an idealist, but an ambitious pragmatist.
