“Be honest with me, Brian. Are we going on a cross-country killing spree?”

“I’d hardly call it a spree.”

Brian Sloane is a pure psychopathic monster… to everyone but Mina.

She was looking for a good man to scratch a particular itch but instead ended up bought by the violent enforcer of a submissive training house.

Against all odds, the villain became her hero. She was the light to his dark until the lights went out, and the darkness inside her came out to play.

Now they’re both killers, chasing the blood lust, running toward their demons, each hit job more dangerous than the last. From a twisted Easter hunt, to an explosive Fourth of July, from a deadly masquerade ball, to an even deadlier Krampus run, culminating in the Do or Die Valentine’s Day Kill that will either seal their doom or their happily ever after.

Do killers even deserve a happy ending?

A bundle of Kitty Thomas’s 3 darkest titles (contemporary dark standalones): Comfort Food (published originally in 2010, the OG dark romance novel), The Game Maker, and Big Sky:

Comfort Food:

HER:

The first day of my captivity was like being born… or dying. They’re both kind of the same thing with the long tunnel and the bright light at the end. Maybe it wasn’t like either, actually. Maybe I’m remembering it wrong because for me that day all there was, was darkness.

HIM:

Today I found something beautiful and decided to break it. I wanted to see it shatter in my hand and crumble at my feet. Her name is Emily Vargas. She’s bright and educated and stunning. Articulate. She’ll want someone to talk to her.

The Game Maker:

I was too isolated. I was about to be evicted. I made a final desperate call to the man who ruined my life, but he didn’t come for me.

Someone else did.

And then there was Seven. When I first woke in the cell, I thought he was my captor, but he is a pawn, like me.

Seven is beautiful and kind. I want him so much I can barely breathe. He wants to protect me from our captor, but he can’t.

We are both locked inside a game neither of us can ever hope to win, and even though it’s wrong, I’m starting to want both men, not just the good one… the monster as well.

Big Sky:

Veronica Cason lives in a small apartment with no clear view of the sky. It’s uncertain which might crush her first: her debt or the buildings squeezed in so tight that they surround her like ominous sentinels. She can’t breathe in the city. Her success is a lie, and her debt is coming to collect her — unless someone else gets there first.

When a stranger offers her a job at a ranch, it feels like salvation, but it could also mean her death if his motives aren’t pure. Which door has the tiger behind it? The claustrophobia of the city or ranch life under an open sky?

What is Brian hiding from me? What terrible truth do I not know?

The ominous warning of The Tower hangs between us, threatening to topple us to our doom.

I look for the answers behind the veil, asking fate to spill forth its secrets so that I can somehow save us before it's too late.

And yet the sands keep falling through the hourglass as time races faster and faster, pushing us to our certain end.

This is the FINAL novella in Brian and Mina's Holiday Hits. This series is complete. HEA guaranteed.

Pop Quiz: You're a woman alone in the forest… would you rather run into a man or a bear?

I'm lost out in the woods when I cross paths with a strange man. He offers to take me back to his campsite, feed me, get me warm, but every instinct in me screams NO!

He is an opportunistic predator, and I am his prey.

I run. He chases. And just before I'm traumatized for life, I hear a loud roar as a seven hundred pound Grizzly bear rips the man off me and mauls him to death.

So…. Team Bear?

If only it were so simple. This isn't just any normal bear. He's a bear shifter, and he's convinced I'm his fated mate.

I appreciate the life saving and all, but I have goals and dreams, and I won't allow fate to play matchmaker for me, no matter how otherwise appealing the shifter in question may be.

This is a Fated Mates Bear Shifter Romance standalone. HEA guaranteed.
