The Darkness We Hide by Brynn Ford

There are no rules in Lawless Land. There’s no one to stop us from taking what we want. All she wants is revenge… and all I want is her.

OZ

From the moment I saw Gemma, I knew she’d be mine.

Her bubblegum pink hair caught my curiosity, but when she opened her sassy, smart mouth, she unknowingly demanded an insatiable craving.

I had to take her…

She awakened the darkness I’ve been hiding.

Gemma provokes a dangerous obsession within me, but she’s consumed by her own thirst for revenge, a need so intense it threatens the stronghold I’ve built in this wasteland.

But she’ll have to let go of that craving.

She’s mine now, and I won’t let her go.

I’ll protect her from the violence beyond our gates, but I can’t protect her from myself… I don’t want to.

GEMMA

I’ve done terrible things for revenge, but I’m far from finished.

The last man I need to end was exiled to Lawless Land—an isolated desert territory ruled by criminals. I became a criminal to follow him. I committed brutal acts to guarantee my own banishment. When I finally get the opportunity to carry out my final act of vengeance, a nameless man on a motorcycle steals me away.

He takes me to his gated compound…

He refuses to let me go.

The only thing I want is the death of the man I came here to end, but this lawless man with the skull tattoo on his hand has other plans for me.

He won’t let me leave.

He insists I’m safer here than wandering Lawless Land.

But I know he’s a liar, and he’s only keeping me from what I came here to do. He claims me with the same possessive passion that broke me once before… I refuse to be broken again.
