The man behind the mask won't stop until she's his.
Scarlett Day has been his obsession ever since he witnessed her hidden dark side. For years, he was content to remain a secret - her silent protector from afar, watching over her from the dark corners of modern-day New Orleans.
But everything changes when a dangerous enemy sets his sights on Scarlett. To ensure her survival, he is forced to step out of the shadows and take control. He will do absolutely anything to protect her . . . even if it means keeping her against her will. Now that she's in his world, he can't let her go. He has mastered the darkness, but Scarlett tempts him with her brilliant light, threatening to undo everything he has built. As the danger outside closes in, the biggest threat might just be the one inside his walls: when his mask is finally gone, will she fear the monster underneath?
