Volcano of Pain by Heidi Stark
Her stalker never forgot her, and there’s no way he’s going to let her go…
Desperate for a fresh start, Margaux moves to tropical Sunset Cay and drums up a hot surfer. Except her brother’s best friend has always felt protective–and maybe even a little possessive–of her.
Margaux is an emerging dark romance writer, and her manifestation game is on point. So when she’s catapulted into a full-time writing career and meets the surfer of her dreams, he seems like everything she thought she ever wanted.
But as their love grows, literal and figurative cracks start to emerge. Because he hasn’t been entirely honest about his past.
And he’s got plenty of secrets to hide.
YOU CAN HIDE YOUR HORNS…BUT THEY’RE STILL THERE.
Dex has always felt protective–and maybe even a little possessive–of Margaux, his childhood best friend’s little sister. Covered in tattoos, and riding a motorcycle everywhere, Margaux has always felt a forbidden attraction to him.
HER SWEETEST DREAM BECAME HER DARKEST NIGHTMARE… BUT SOMEONE WAS WATCHING.
And he’s got plenty of secrets of his own.
This is a pitch-black dark stalker romance with heavy domestic violence themes. Check TWs.
Volcano of Pain is part one of a duet and ends on a cliffhanger.
