Beautiful Prey (Unmasked Duet)

He destroyed her once. Now she's walking straight back into his trap.

Emery Blakmor is a monster—and Eve has the scars to prove it. Years after his single, savage act shattered her world, she has survived on nightmares and rage, rebuilding herself from the wreckage he left behind. So when Emery ends up behind bars and refuses to speak to anyone but her, Eve sees only one thing: an opportunity.

She enters the prison with revenge carved into her bones. She will break him the way he broke her. She will walk out whole.

But Emery hasn't changed. If anything, confinement has made him sharper, more calculating, more dangerously compelling. Within this gothic cat-and-mouse of cold corridors and careful words, he doesn't behave like a man who has lost. He behaves like a predator who has finally lured his prey exactly where he wants her.

Beautiful Prey is a dark, atmospheric romantic suspense that pulls no punches. Lora Darc constructs a tension so suffocating it reads like horror—because in many ways, it is. Every conversation between Eve and Emery is a battle of wills, every silence a trap, every moment of inexplicable magnetism a reminder that hatred and obsession share a dangerously thin wall.

Eve came to break a monster. The terrifying question isn't whether she can—it's whether she still wants to.

Some prey chooses its predator. The question is whether Eve realizes it before it's too late.
