Monster's Prey: A Dark Revenge Romance (Monster Duet Book 1)

Some monsters wear human faces, and Piper Ashwood is about to come face-to-face with the one who haunts her nightmares.

After years of running from the small town of Astley—and the boy who made her childhood unbearable—Piper returns with one purpose: justice for her murdered parents. Every instinct points to Quill. He was cruel then, calculating, with darkness behind his eyes that no child should possess. Now she's back to prove it, playing detective in a town that keeps too many secrets, stalking a killer who may already be stalking her.

But Quill isn't hiding. He's been waiting.

This dark romantic thriller refuses to let either character breathe. Quill is obsessive, volatile, and utterly fixated—not on silencing Piper, but on owning her completely. He wants her cornered, desperate, and wholly dependent on the one person she despises most. The enemies dynamic here is razor-sharp; their shared history cuts deep, and every confrontation crackles with menace and a tension that's equal parts terrifying and magnetic.

As the line between predator and prey dissolves, Piper begins to question everything she believed about Quill, her parents' deaths, and herself. The truth lurking beneath Astley's surface is darker than anything she imagined—and so is the pull she feels toward the man she came home to destroy.
