Dark Billionaire Predator
(2026)(The third book in the Dark Serpent Brotherhood series)
A novel by Lara Hart
She checks her locks twice every night. She has no idea I replaced them.
I'm Benedict — the charming one, the one the secret society sends when something needs to disappear. I don't do attachments. I don't do vulnerability. I do the job, and I disappear.
Then I see her. Lucy. Trauma therapist. Quiet. Careful. My brother's sister-in-law. Completely off limits.
Mine — she just doesn't know it yet.
I watch her for three weeks before I let her see me. I memorize her schedule, her apartment, the prescription on her nightstand. I break in while she's sleeping. I learn the shape of her life so I can fit myself inside it.
She's trained to recognize predatory behavior. She diagnoses obsession for a living. She should see me coming from a mile away.
She does. She sees exactly what I am — the surveillance, the violence, the darkness I've never shown anyone. She names every red flag, every clinical pattern, every reason she should run.
Then she stays anyway.
She stays, and I unravel. The man who never needed anyone needs her like oxygen. The man who controls everything loses control of the one thing that matters.
And when my enemies discover what she is to me, she becomes the bait.
She thinks she can diagnose me. She has no idea she's already under my skin.
A standalone dark romance featuring a morally black antihero, he falls first and harder trope, secret society intrigue, stalking, obsessive possession, and a HEA earned in blood.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: Stalking, explicit content, violence, morally dark hero. 18+ only.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
