Layla
I spent years believing that monsters always win.
But it turns out even monsters have someone they fear.
The serial killer the media dubs The Hangman didn’t save my life; he ended the life of the man who stole mine.
Ever since then, I’ve done everything I could to find the man behind the mask.
Some people say I’m obsessed . . . and maybe they’re right.
Because once I find him, I’m not walking away.
Not even if he begs me to.
Kane
My life is simple.
I hunt down the monsters.
I stay under the radar.
Then a beautiful little stalker uncovers my identity and refuses to leave me alone.
She sees a hero; I see a broken man trying to atone for his sins.
She’s a walking liability. A naïve girl who doesn’t realize what she’s gotten into. Then she smiles at me . . . and I forget that I’m not supposed to be happy.
But when a new threat emerges, I don’t know whether to protect myself . . . or her.
