She hired a fake date. She got a serial killer.
The last six months of second-grade teacher Morgan Hart's life have been brutal.
Her mother was murdered.
And her fiancé left her for his mistress.
So is it any wonder she’s developed a mildly concerning obsession with survival-skills podcasts?
When Morgan needs a date for a ceremony honoring her mother, she hires one.
Knox Cellan is handsome, charming, and very good at making her ex regret coming within ten feet of her.
There’s just one problem.
He isn'''t the man the escort service sent.
He’s a serial killer. But hey, nobody’s perfect.
As if life couldn't get any more complicated, a would-be intruder attacks her.
Morgan puts him on the floor, then Knox shows up to finish the job.
Who needs roses and chocolates when there's plastic sheeting, bleach, and serious second-date energy?
Soon they'''re hiding bodies, hunting her mother’s killers, and discovering that revenge makes for surprisingly good foreplay.
Morgan isn’t afraid of Knox’s darkness, but Knox might destroy them both trying to save her from it.
