A Daughter to Die For

book one

A Dark Romance of Love, Obsession, and Redemption


Meet a broken boy and an angry girl. Nicolas is a desperate Casanova turned criminal, and Judith is the femme fatale, determined to hunt him down. Nicolas has abducted Martha to seduce her into replacing a woman who broke his heart. Now, Judith vows to kill the man who took her mom, and only Justin, the cop she met the night her mom went missing, can stop her.

Martha, a bleeding-heart therapist, decides she must help Nicolas face his past if she ever wants to get free. Then she meets his father, Erik, and damn—suddenly, getting kidnapped isn’t so bad. A second chance for Martha, a soulmate for Judith. Mother and daughter could end up having it all—or end up dead. As Judith walks the warpath, searching for clues, Justin plays mind games to win her heart. Until Martha discovers why Nicolas took her, and all hell breaks loose.

Suspenseful, steamy, and led by a strong heroine, this is a heartwarming story about the power of love that will appeal to all those who aren’t scared of the dark stuff. If you love enemies-to-lovers romance, morally grey characters, and jaw-dropping twists, this book will leave you breathless.

Two men. One woman. A love that could shatter them all.

Judith finally has what she’s always wanted, Justin, her heroic cop, the man who swore to love and protect her. Life should be perfect. But love this intense never comes without scars. Justin can’t forgive her fated liaison with Nicolas, the dangerously alluring man who tried to steal her heart. His anger turns cold and punishing, driving Judith into the arms of the very man Justin despises.

When Nicolas returns, spiraling into obsession and addiction, Judith is drawn into a secret affair too powerful to resist. Until Justin finds out… and ends it in a way that could destroy them all. But Nicolas isn’t finished. He’s willing to risk everything, his life, his sanity, even Judith’s freedom to claim the woman he believes is his soulmate.

When a luxury holiday in Mexico brings Judith and Nicolas face-to-face, every buried desire and deadly secret explodes. Betrayal burns. Passion scorches.
