About this book
Echoes of the Past When dangerous secrets from a past life resurface, a man discovers that his grip on the one person he loves most is slipping away—and he'll become whatever villain necessary to keep them from being torn apart forever. Intense and obsessive, this dark romance explores what happens when history refuses to stay buried and devotion becomes all-consuming. If you crave high-stakes emotional turmoil, morally gray characters, and a love so fierce it borders on dangerous, this darkly passionate MM romance will completely wreck you. Fair warning: this is book one of a duet with a cliffhanger ending!

Dark, obsessive, and consuming—industrial beats meet haunting vocals. Think Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, and Massive Attack. Morally gray tension with sensual, dangerous undercurrents. Possession, devotion, and the blurred line between love and control.
