Hunted by Valentine

Purchase Review

PREFACE

Hunted by Valentine is, at its heart, a tragedy. This story isn't about redemption or a happily-ever-after. It's about the inevitable destruction that happens when two deeply flawed people collide.

There's no fairytale ending here—no last-minute rescue. What Ruby and Valentine share is raw, brutal, and haunting, a story that can only lead one way: down.

There's something else I want to address, because I know it's going to stir some opinions. I've chosen not to list “cheating” as a trigger in this book. I'm not trying to hide anything or catch my readers off guard, and I certainly don't take the subject lightly.

As someone who's felt the deep, personal sting of betrayal, I know how painful that can be.

But here's the thing; cheating, to me, requires more than an exchange of vows and empty promises. Ruby's marriage is a prison, a contract forced on her. How can it be considered infidelity when there was never any fidelity to begin with?

Whether you consider this a dark romance with an unhappy—or different—ending, or a dark romantic tragedy, I've done my best to set the expectations without shielding anyone from the rawness of the story.

BLURB

In a world of shadows, love can be the deadliest game.

My life unravels when my abusive husband hires the notorious Hunter to kill me. To complete the job, he needs me at Holloway University.

That's where I meet Valentine Grant. Dangerous, brilliant, and ruthlessly charming. He revels in mind games—and I'm both his subject and his prey.

To him, I'm just a pet. But it doesn't take long for me to see the truth behind his façade. To see him for what he really is—who he truly is.

Our relationship is twisted, all-consuming, and utterly doomed. In a world like ours, love can't survive.

I can't survive.

“Hunted by Valentine” is a dark, tragic tale where love and fate collide—and no happy ending awaits.

Please note: even though all the books in the Seasonal Obsessions are standalones, there's an overarching plot and details that carry over between the three books. But each book follows a different Knight sibling.
