I started a true crime podcast to chase the truth. But now a masked man is chasing me … Launching After the Carver with my best friend was supposed to be the start of something exciting. A bold move to revive interest in an unsolved serial murder case that the world moved on from years ago. But the moment we posted our first episode, everything changed. Someone’s watching me now… and I’m certain it’s the Carver himself. He leaves me sinister notes. Sends me sick little gifts. Shows up in the dead of night and whispers that he’s been waiting for me all along. He’s not just an obsessive stalker. Not just a ruthless predator. He’s a collector, and apparently, I’m the prize he’s always wanted. So now I’m caught in his web. Trapped between uncovering the truth and being claimed as his plaything. When he comes for me, every instinct screams to run and hide… but some dark, twisted part of me doesn’t want to. If I don’t get a hold of myself, I’ll stop chasing the killer… and start belonging to him. *** Make It Hurt is a standalone 110k-word MF dark romance that contains dark topics/situations that may be triggering to some.
