In a life where loyalty is proven in blood, love is the deadliest betrayal. Shadow and Slayer find comfort in the stillness of a midnight cemetery together. Anonymous to each other for self-preservation, they form a bond through scars and a brittle faith that there's life beyond the violence that shaped them. A decade later, fate drags Evander and Maryn back into each other's lives. Now, they stand on opposite sides of an underground war. She's a weapon. He's her target. Each heartbeat thumps closer to treason. Each touch threatens to collapse the world that holds them captive. Can they escape unscathed or will their connection lead them to the ultimate sentence? Melissa K. Morgan is a self proclaimed book nerd that lives in the Pacific Northwest with her incredible husband and children. When she's not writing romance novels, she likes to date her husband, binge read books, bake, and watch documentaries. Her guilty pleasures are peanut butter cups, wine, over the top reality television, and a good anti-hero. If you're looking for stories filled with unique characters, steamy romance, and plots with a twist, check her out.
