Ripple Effect

When a desperate young woman on the run from a dangerous past stumbles into the orbit of a ruthless killer operating in Chicago's underground, she thinks she's found her escape route—only to discover she's walked straight into something far more complicated and consuming. He's everything she should fear and nothing she can resist, a man so broken that connection feels impossible, yet she awakens something in him that demands to be reckoned with. As their dark entanglement deepens, the line between salvation and destruction blurs, and they're both caught in the inevitable fallout of choices already made. This gritty, intense romance explores what happens when two damaged people find in each other either redemption or ruin—and sometimes both.
