Hart of Darkness: An Enemies to Lovers Romance
About this ebook
I thought the trail had gone cold. My baby sister vanished without a trace, and I’ve been chasing shadows ever since. But a call from the morgue drags me into a case I can’t walk away from… and into the path of a woman I’ve never been able to forget.
Maggie Marx.
She was my rival in the streets and my weakness in secret. The wrong girl from the wrong side. Off limits. Untouchable. And exactly what I wanted.
She’s still got the grit, the bite, and the curves that make a man forget why he should keep his distance. But this time, I can’t afford distractions. Not when my sister’s life is hanging in the balance.
Maggie’s a crime reporter with a nose for danger and a grudge aimed squarely at the jerk who left her for dead. And that jerk might be tied to my sister.
Now we’re in deep, teaming up, digging through secrets neither of us are ready to face and playing with fire every time we touch. The closer we get to the truth, the higher the stakes and the harder it is to tell where the lies end and the feelings begin.
Yet, she’s the one fight I can’t afford to lose.
Hart of Darkness is an enemies to lovers, gritty romantic suspense featuring a feisty heroine and a bad boy hero. Dillon and Maggie’s story is filled with action, intrigue, steamy times, and a happily ever after.
