Love Like Drowning

An obsession with his captor means there’s no need for escape–he’s already home.

The worst thing Gregory’s ever done is selfishly yearn for forgiveness.

The second worst thing is murder.

Gregory’s only ever killed people who try to hurt him.

If he stays far away from other people, no one has to get hurt at all.

Meeting the magnetic son of a billionaire by chance one night abruptly tears down the walls of the safe, isolated life Gregory built for himself.

Sinclair is charismatic, affable and inexplicably full of sunshine at two in the morning.

He accosts Gregory when he should have crossed the street to avoid him.

He flirts relentlessly instead of recoiling in disgust.

For the first time in his life Gregory starts to believe that he can have something like companionship.

Something like happiness.

But all happiness means to Sinclair is a body bleeding in his basement.

That’s okay–Gregory won’t let Sinclair kill him.

Won’t let him leave.

He’s going to secure his own happiness.

Show Sinclair that they’re meant to be together.

No matter the cost.

Sinclair, meanwhile, cheerfully dismantles minds and bodies in his basement.

He’s on the hunt for his latest victim and he’s just found the perfect one, the kind he adores most of all: an isolated, anxious, lonely man who no one will possibly miss.

Gregory is strange and jumpy and flustered dizzy by the slightest attention–he’ll cry just right when Sinclair finally flashes his knife.

Sinclair only has two rules:

Don’t sleep with the victims.
Don’t let them live.

There's just one problem: Sinclair might like his new plaything a little too much. He’s never met someone he’d rather keep than kill, but he has a mortifying, growing suspicion that Gregory just might be the one.

Worst of all, he has no idea his shy little Gregory has a body count of his own–or just how dangerous Gregory can be.
