Shallow Hill is where souls suffer slow and miserable deaths. When River McAllister escaped from Shallow Hill, she left her innocence behind--and some of her sanity, too. Now she's rebuilding her life with her dream man and life couldn't be better. Ryan Fitzgerald is everything you'd want in a man. Attractive, rich, an aspiring lawyer, and would do anything to keep River. But that's not the only thing that attracts her. It's his attentiveness, his possessiveness... maybe not so much his temper. When her relationship takes a dark turn, Ryan's estranged brother, Mako, is the only one who sees it. He knows exactly what Ryan is capable of, and it's not the first time he had to be a knight in shining armor. River came from Shallow Hill, though. She's never needed saving before. What Mako doesn't see, is that River is perfectly capable of taking care of herself. The only one who should be scared is Ryan. Trigger Warning: Shallow River is a dark romance that contains domestic violence, rape, violence, and sexual situations.

Chi sono? Ho dimenticato la risposta a questa domanda molto tempo fa. Da quando sono scappata da quella casa, così bramosa di darmi alla fuga. Me ne sono andata con solo i miei vestiti addosso e i calzini ai piedi. Da quel giorno in poi, ho camminato soltanto con delle scarpe rubate. Potrei essere una ragazza che cerca il senso della vita in uomini senza volto? Erano tutti così insignificanti. Finché non è arrivato lui. Mi ha portata sotto una cascata e mi ha fatto dimenticare il mio nome, e in cambio io mi sono presa il suo. Enzo Vitale. Un uomo enigmatico che amerà sempre e solo il mare profondo. O meglio, i predatori che lo abitano. A quanto pare non è così diverso dai mostri che nutre. Mi ha attirata sulla sua barca come un pesce in mezzo all’oceano, in cerca di vendetta per il mio crimine. Se mi fossi resa conto delle sue intenzioni e del fatto che un'enorme tempesta ci avrebbe fatti naufragare, sarei fuggita. Ora sono una ragazza che cerca rifugio in un faro decrepito con un uomo che mi detesta quasi quanto mi desidera. Vuole farmi del male, ma il vecchio custode dell'isola abbandonata potrebbe avere intenzioni ben più sinistre. Ora la domanda non è più chi sono, ma piuttosto… sopravviverò? Questo è uno standalone dark romance dell'autrice della dilogia "Il gatto e il topo." Contiene delle scene che non sono adatte a tutti i lettori. Vi invitiamo a leggere le avvertenze a inizio libro. Presto, della stessa autrice, anche la novella "Satan's Affair."

The married woman of the manor. The stranger outside. An intoxicating novel of dark temptation and dangerous desire by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Cat and Mouse Duet. November 12, 1944. This house holds on to souls for a lifetime. I thought I had given it to my husband when I vowed to love him until the end of time. I lied. Nothing could have prepared me for the day my phantom appeared outside my window. He was terrifying, yet hypnotizing, and I couldn’t deny my intrigue. I never intended to fall into a whirlwind romance with my stalker. Especially because he’s so much more than that. A criminal. A mobster. The man who offers me solace from the monster in Parsons Manor. There are many that haunt these halls, yet it’s only my husband I fear.

Mi segue. Mi sento i suoi occhi addosso ovunque vada. Un bicchiere di whiskey vuoto sul bancone della mia cucina, una rosa rossa al suo passaggio. Apro gli occhi nel cuore della notte, e lui è lì. Mi osserva. Mi assaggia. Non mi lascia scampo. Da quando sono tornata in questa casa, la mia vita non è più la stessa. Sto cercando di scoprire la verità sul passato della mia famiglia. Lettere. Diari. Frasi interrotte. Non mi lasciano scampo. La seguo. La tengo d'occhio ovunque vada. Un sorso di whiskey quando passo a trovarla, una rosa rossa prima di andare via. La osservo dormire. Voglio sentire il suo sapore. Non la lascerò andare, ora che l'ho trovata. Questo è il primo volume della dilogia "Il gatto e il topo" di HD Carlton. Si tratta di due dark romance che trattano tematiche che potrebbero disturbare diversi lettori. Si invita a leggere le avvertenze a inizio libro prima di procedere con la lettura. Questo libro termina con un cliffhanger. Già attivo il preorder del secondo volume, "Ti ritroverò, Adeline," disponibile dal 17 dicembre.

Once you've been chosen, there's no escaping my henchmen—they cater to my every desire. You can run and you can hide, but it only excites me. Come. Take a walk through my dollhouse, where your screams will blend and your cute little pleas will go unanswered. But I can't promise it'll be over quickly...

Who am I? I've forgotten the answer to that question long ago. Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I've only ever walked in stolen shoes. Could I be a girl who is searching for the meaning of life in faceless men? They were all so forgettable. Until he came along. He took me under a waterfall and made me forget my name, and in return, I took his instead. Enzo Vitale. An enigmatic man that will only ever love the deep sea. Or rather the predators that inhabit it. Turns out, he's not so different than the monsters he feeds. He lured me onto his boat like a fish in the ocean, seeking vengeance for my crime. Had I realized his intentions, and that a massive storm would leave us shipwrecked, I would've ran. Now, I'm a girl who's seeking refuge in a decrepit lighthouse with a man who loathes me almost as much as he craves me. He wants to hurt me, but the old caretaker of the abandoned island may have intentions far more sinister. It's no longer a question of who I am, but rather, will I survive?
