About this book

When your soulmate's a serial killer, true love gives 'touch her and die' a whole new meaning--but all the red flags in the world won't stop Lucy from being with the man of her dreams in this delightfully twisted dark romcom. After narrowly escaping death at the hands of a serial killer, Roxie wants one thing and one thing only: her rescuer's phone number. Too bad he's disappeared into the night, returning to his blood-soaked life hunting the men who give murder a bad name. Well, unluckily for him, Roxie loves a challenge... The last thing infamous killer Max Ruscombe wants is to be saddled with an unhinged stalker determined to make him out to be some kind of hero. But when Roxie puts herself in danger to draw him out, he has no choice but to kidnap the maddening woman and teach her a lesson she'll never forget. Only instead of showing fear, Roxie...kind of loves it. She's never had a hotter experience in her life. Sure Max is a coldblooded killer, but every guy has his flaws--and besides, it's not like the people he murders are innocent. In fact, maybe what this murderer needs is a woman's touch! As the pair of them join forces, Max and Roxie discover that dating in the modern world comes with its challenges...especially when one of them is a sociopath and the other just wants her Happily Ever After no matter who she has to stab along the way.
