The Reaper

Dark Verse, Book 2

Tristan Caine and Morana Vitalio pick up where The Predator ended, now in Tenebrae territory where the list of people who want Morana dead keeps growing. They have twenty years of history, a trail of missing girls to follow, and a decision to make about trusting each other.

Regular, with scenes that carry as much emotion as heat.
