"I want him. I want all of him, more than I had been willing to acknowledge in the past. And it is because of that want, that need, I begin to peel every article of clothing off my body and allow each garment to fall onto the cold wood floor." A serial killer's mental state is a delicate thing... Haunted by the deaths of both her brother and best friend, Jolene Hedon sets off on a hunt to find her brother's killer. Her attempts to stay away have failed her and once again Jolene finds herself distracted by the alluring and ever mysterious methods of Dr. William Alexander. Will his unorthodox ways help, or will they serve to push her into a darkness that she is ill prepared to navigate? "I swallow hard and feel the slight tug of the collar wrapped around my neck that says, 'slut.'"
