Dark Taste of Rapture

With one caress, he can give unforgettable pleasure or unending pain.

Hector Dean is shaved, tattooed, and totally ripped—and he has a deadly secret. He is a walking weapon, capable of killing with a single brush of his fingertips. Little wonder he's determined to remain on his own.

For the first time, his stone-cold resistance is tested. But to be with her, he risks destroying her.

When a wealthy businessman is murdered in New Chicago's seediest district, the two are partnered, and there's no escaping what they both want: each other.

Yet neither Hector nor Noelle knows what to fear more—the killer case, or their own lethal desires.
