When the news breaks of a serial killer being on the loose, it doesn’t take me long to remember it all — the night when the said serial killer took my virginity two years prior. Determined to find him, I never could’ve anticipated what a single night of going back to the Carnival would bring. James Maddox came wrapped in danger, with blood on his hands, a mask on his face, and most importantly, as the missing piece of my puzzle. The missing piece of my past. James holds all the cards, and somehow, I became the most important one in the deck. ​​​​​​​Past binds us together, and it’s up to me to determine which cards he’ll deal. Because it might just cost me everything.
