I came to VMR to find my best friend. She walked into this billion-dollar media empire and vanished without a trace. No calls. No messages. Just… gone.
So when a job opens up, I take it. I need answers, and the only way to get them is from the inside.
That’s when I meet him.
Lucian Vale. CEO. Enigma. Predator in a perfectly tailored suit.
From the moment his cold gaze locks onto mine, I know he’s not just a man. There’s something ancient in the way he moves, something deadly in the way he watches me. And when he offers me the job as his personal assistant, I know I should run.
But I don’t.
The pull between us is inescapable—dark, primal, and all-consuming. He wants me, but he knows what happened to my friend. I just have to find her before I’m in too deep.
Because in his world, love is a deadly thing. And if I’m not careful, it just might cost me everything.
A Love So Deadly is Part One of the Kiss of Darkness Duet. A shortened version was previously published in the Sinners & Stardust 2025 Anthology, but the story has been expanded for its re-release.
Harper A. Brooks may be a Jersey girl at heart, but now she likes to hideout in the mountains of Virginia with bigfoot and all his little woodland friends. Even though classic authors have always filled her bookshelves, she finds her writing muse drawn to the dark, magical, and romantic. When she isn’t creating entire worlds with sexy shifters or legendary love stories, you can find her either with a good cup of coffee in hand or at home snuggling with her furry, four-legged son, Sammy.
