\nThe night I'm released from prison, she's in my bed.It's been eight years since I touched a woman, and the Native American beauty is half-dressed, beaten, bruised, and devastatingly exquisite.We're toxic together, but we want the same things. Blood. Vengeance.Violent relief in a warm body.Beneath her touch, I'm alive.Against her skin, I'm redeemed.Buried inside her, I forget the past.Until the past takes her from me.Prison made me cold, but losing Raina makes me cruel. Ruthless. Unforgiving.I killed before. For her, I'll kill again.I'll end this once and for all or die in my boots.
