Pretty Savage - Book 2
A Pretty Kind of Violence needs to be read prior to A Lovely Kind of Madness.
The worst thing he ever did wasn’t killing. It was loving her.
Reth Hale is still a killer — still hollowed out, still leashed. But now he has something he never accounted for.
Something to lose.
He comes back to her every time. Damaged. More damaged than before. He shows up in the dark and for a few days Sophia Sinclair’s world makes sense again — his hands, his voice, the muffins he makes before dawn because he doesn't know any other way to say I love you.
Then he leaves. He always leaves.
Back to her.
The woman who broke the boy and built the weapon.
Valeria doesn’t just want the assassin. She wants every ruined piece of the man beneath him — branded so completely with her name that he forgets he ever had one of his own. And she is willing to burn everything down to get it.
Including the woman he killed for. Lied for. Chose.
Sophia has spent her life studying damage. She knows what a man looks like when he’s been taken apart and stitched back together wrong. She knows Reth is running out of pieces.
Loving him may be the most dangerous thing she’s ever done.
She knows what this is going to cost them both.
She’s choosing him anyway.
