Your Knife, My Heart
Synopsis
Cameron Mortem keeps killing his partners. He is officially classed as clinically insane, and he is also one of the deadliest operatives in the Dark Forces, an underground military outfit that runs on obedience, survival and silence. An experimental drug has broken his control, so he becomes a danger to anyone who shares the field with him.
His punishment is a return to the Under Trials, a boot camp built to crush the weak and sharpen the ruthless. He has one order: do not kill the new girl.
The new girl is Emery Maves, who has just escaped a death sentence for violent crimes of her own. She is pulled into the same brutal world and paired with Cameron. She is expected to get through the Trials and through a partner who cannot be trusted. Soon she sees something in him beyond bloodlust and body counts, a dangerous tenderness under the madness.
This is a dark romance in the author's Dark Forces world, and the bond between the two is chaotic and born of violence. Emery has to meet the camp's demands while resisting a man who could protect her or kill her. Cameron has to fight the one urge he has never beaten. Expect a violent, intense read in which the attraction and the threat arrive together.
