Ian Hart is the most notorious criminal in the country. Like the thief he is, he came in the dark and stole a night of my life.
He left me with souvenirs. Disaster and fear are my new realities. I’ll forever look over my shoulder, terrified he’d return, because when he took me, he stole more than just a few hours of my time.
His crime has consequences neither of us could’ve imagined. If I’m to escape the nightmare of my life, I have to outsmart him. If I’m to survive, I have to outwit every enemy he’s turned against me, including Ian himself, the most dangerous and cleverest man I know.

TRAILER
OUR THOUGHTS
Cas had already suffered an evening of bad luck with the date from he ll -
But the worst is far from over as she soon finds herself the victim of a carjacking
- it's not even her car!!
Ian has his reasons for taking Cas.
Never said the man was sane but he is a thief and he never hesitates to take what he wants
And right now?
For the night?
He wants Cas.
This starts out fast-paced and explosive and the fallout from one moment's lustful decision just continues
It was a bit like Dominos- once the first one falls the momentum just picks up taking out everything in its path
And Ian put Cas front and center
This ends on a "hold on tight things are about to get rough" moment - not really a cliffy perse more like a "No way!" type of ending - It is part of a duet
Ian and Cas were combustible together -
They fit and there were no games between them.
Ian means what he says.
And Cas?
She loves to strike his fuse just to watch the fallout
The real twists pick up in the last few chapters
I have all kinds of questions and no clues yet
Though I did see the screwup coming
