For ambitious journalist Sadie Hartwell, the truth is a drug she can’t resist. Her latest obsession is the ruin of Blackwood Labs and the ghost of its founder, the brilliant and disgraced Dr. Alistair Finch. Ignoring the warnings of her editor and the whispers of a dark history, she breaks into the abandoned fortress, convinced she’s hunting the story of a lifetime. But she’s not the one doing the hunting. The monster is still home.
Trapped in the sterile depths of the lab, Sadie finds herself a prisoner in a dangerous game of wits and will with a man who is more beast than human. Alistair Finch is a creature of scars, rage, and a terrifying intellect. He offers her a choice: help him perfect his unholy research, or become his next failed experiment. It’s a forbidden partnership, a tantalizing dance on the edge of a blade where every moment is charged with both terror and a raw, illicit desire.
As she is pulled deeper into his world of monstrous secrets and painful truths, Sadie discovers that the science isn’t the only thing that’s unethical—so is the hypnotic pull she feels toward her captor. She came to expose a monster, but now she must confront a more chilling possibility: that the line between love and obsession, between salvation and destruction, has blurred completely. And in the darkness of Blackwood Labs, the most savage secrets are not in Alistair’s research, but in her own shameless heart.
