Erotic thriller heat—intense, explicit, and emotionally sharp.

The vibe

Dead bodies always tell the truth. You just have to listen.

As a forensic assistant, the narrator trusts the dead more than the living—cataloging wounds, dissecting silence, and chasing truths people try to bury. It’s the only place reality feels solid… until Miller Banks. They once worked side by side: Miller was the brilliant forensic pathologist she idolized, the man she believed could solve anything.

Then the murders started. Seven bodies on her table. And every trail led back to him.

Miller vanished two years ago, presumed dead. But he isn’t in the grave—he’s in the woods. And now, so is she.

Miller swears he won’t hurt her. Swears he didn’t kill them. Swears he needs her to see the truth no one else would. She calls him a monster. But the longer she’s bound to him, the more the lines blur—between guilt and innocence, truth and obsession, predator and protector. Because sometimes the one who holds you captive… is the only one who can set you free.
