Were darkness and mine as f*cking craved yours since the moment I laid eyes on you.

Hannah Gaines is without a doubt the most annoying woman I have ever met. And I'm f*cking obsessed with her. She's too sweet and innocent. Too perfect for a man like me. I'd break her. Ruin her until I'm the only one she'd see because that's what guys like me do to girls like her.

We claim them. Keep them addicted to us so they can't see what kind of monsters we really are.

So when she shows up at my garage, begging for my help to find her missing sister—the same sister that helped to destroy my family—the rational part of me knows I should say no. Unfortunately, I've never been rational when it comes to her. And now, the one girl I can never have is the one I'm stealing for eternity.

It's wrong for her to want me. The governor's pretty little daughter shouldn't find comfort in my darkness. I'm a monster, hiding in the shadows, waiting to strike when she least expects it.

And now, I'm f*cking attached.

Because she's mine, even if she doesn't know it, yet.

He's the type of man mothers warn their daughters about. Tall, dark, and dangerous. Handsome as the devil—if the devil were 6'5, built like a machine, and had a jawline like Mason Carpenter.

He's always been the unobtainable. The one man I can never have and the same one I can't get out of my head. He's quicksand, sucking me in. My drowning is inevitable.

—He's also my only ally and the one shot I have at finding my missing sister.

He's made it abundantly clear he can't stand me, but in a world with dangerous secret sex clubs, poisonous new drugs, and demons lurking in the darkness of our pasts, I find myself in the home of the one man I swore I'd never fall for again.

. . .And then, his bed.

His darkness and mine crave each other and loving him is both my fall from grace and my climb to heaven.

The only question is . . .Where in the world is Melissa Gaines?

Never Dig Beneath a Grave is book 4 in the Never Ever Series and book two in the LA standalone duet. Each book features a different couple and can be read as a standalone. Happily Ever Afters- guaranteed!

Everyone knows the age-old love story. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. They buy a house and end up with two kids and a dog. A happy family.

Unfortunately, some love stories don't have happy endings and mine is one of them.

Port Nova, Maine, is a safe haven. A home where life can hold some semblance of normalcy and I can forget about the dark, muddy waters that plague my dreams at night. Forget them and let them rest.

That is— until a mysterious fisherman washes up on our shores and threatens to break down every wall I've carefully constructed around myself, forcing me to face the bare bones of who I am and decide if I want to keep living the way I have the last four years.

He's burrowed into my heart and veins and now I'm afraid that when he leaves at the end of the summer, we'll be tethered like the moon and sun for all eternity. Just two beings, bound by a connection, but a million miles apart.

Even if I'll never see him again.

***

You don't wake up a monster one day. You're born into it. Bred for it.

One summer. A couple months and I'll be gone, moving to a life in Alaska on the rough Bering Sea.

Nova Fischer has other plans. The little inn-keeper on some dusty island in the Atlantic has shadows in her pretty blue eyes and I make it my mission to find out just what— or who— put them there. What demons she's hiding from and just how to end this newfound obsession with seeing her smile.

She should have run the moment she saw my jagged scars. I wouldn't have blamed her.

I'm not the man that's there for the long haul. I'm not her rock when she needs it most. I'm not her pillar of strength and I'm for damn sure not the person that deserves redemption at her hands.

I've got blood on my fingers that would stain her pretty, pale skin. I'm not the man for her. I know it. God knows it. Everyone knows it.

Except for her.

She still thinks there's hope for me. I know better. Now, I'm torn between losing a new chance at life . . . and losing her.

What do you do when life gives you everything you've ever asked for . . .

And then you give it right back?

**Forget Me Not is a dark, standalone romance complete with a happily ever after, a morally gray hero with touch her and get toe-tagged energy, and a feisty heroine that keeps him on his toes.
