It all began with just one line. . . The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary and contained a single sentence: I’ll wait forever if I have to. It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know. Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply? You. I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong. We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then, one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too late. Dante was at my doorstep. And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next. ​​​​​​​Product Information: • ISBN: 9781035076994 • Author: J. T.

From Monty Jay comes a gripping dark romance where vengeance resurfaces, loyalties are tested, and obsession turns deadly. For two years, there was peace—fragile, fleeting, and built on buried secrets. But the past refuses to stay dead. Old enemies rise with renewed hunger for destruction, forcing a return to the one place that started it all: Ponderosa Springs. With no choice but to face what they left behind, the stakes are higher than ever. This time, it isn’t just the Hollow Boys in danger. It’s her. Coraline Whittaker is marked by a past she can’t escape and a man who refuses to let her go. Reluctantly, she forms an alliance with someone just as dangerous—someone who understands vengeance all too well. Bound by a shared enemy, they strike a fragile pact: protect each other, survive the storm, and put an end to the man haunting her life. But as the threat closes in, their connection begins to blur the line between protection and possession. What starts as necessity quickly spirals into something deeper, darker, and far more consuming. Because this time, it isn’t just revenge driving him. It’s her. As secrets unravel and past sins resurface, one question remains—will they break free from the darkness, or will it claim them both? ​​​​​​​Product Information: • ISBN: 9781911746904 • Author: Monty Jay • Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd • Format: Paperback

From Monty Jay comes a haunting dark romance where obsession blurs into love, and darkness recognises its own. Death marked her long before she understood what it meant. Shaped by a past she’s kept buried, she’s spent her life hiding the truth of what lives inside her—something twisted, something dangerous. Something deadly. Until he sees her. Thatcher Alexander Pierson is as captivating as he is unsettling—sharp, calculating, and born from a legacy tainted by violence. Beneath his polished exterior lies something far darker, and when their paths collide, an unspoken connection takes hold. She becomes his fixation. He becomes her addiction. But what binds them isn’t innocence—it’s the darkness they both carry. When a copycat killer emerges in Ponderosa Springs, the fragile balance they’ve built begins to crack. As suspicion grows and past actions threaten to catch up with them, they are forced into an uneasy alliance—one that exposes their secrets, their desires, and the truth neither of them can escape. Because this isn’t just about survival. It’s about obsession. As danger closes in and their connection deepens, the line between love and destruction begins to disappear. And in a town where violence breeds more violence, one question remains— Can something so dark ever truly be called love?

Unfortunately, Jakob has other plans. Someone in town is breaking one of the cardinal rules set by the leader of The Kings, and Jakob thinks they're using my grandmother's nursing home to do it. Now I'm neck-deep in trouble with him, and every time I think I've figured out what's really going on, Jakob reveals another piece of the puzzle. I need to figure out how far I'm willing to go to protect this town. How far I'm willing to go with Jakob. Because if I fall for him, there's no going back. No hope for a peaceful ending.
