A New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller, Insatiable is the first book in Leigh Rivers's sinfully addictive Edge of Darkness Trilogy, a dark romance filled with obsession, betrayal, dangerous secrets, and a love that refuses to stay buried.

Kade Mitchell is obsessed with Stacey Rhodes, the girl he once loved and the woman he now believes shattered his heart. After being dragged into the darkness of the underworld, Kade has spent years watching from the shadows, eliminating anyone who gets too close to her. Now he's been given a brief taste of freedom, and he's determined to return to the woman he can neither forgive nor forget.

Stacey is everything Kade tells himself he despises, yet the pull between them is impossible to deny. As old feelings collide with resentment, secrets, and the dangerous life Kade has built, their reunion forces both of them to confront everything that tore them apart in the first place.

The Vibe

Insatiable is a dark, obsessive, high-angst romance for readers who like their love stories intense, morally gray, and emotionally messy. Kade is possessive, dangerous, and consumed by a fixation he has never been able to shake, while Stacey is the woman at the center of his obsession and the one person capable of challenging everything he believes about their past.

Their relationship is steeped in history, resentment, attraction, and unfinished business. The tension comes from the collision between what Kade thinks happened, what Stacey knows, and the feelings neither of them has managed to completely bury.

With an underworld backdrop, dangerous enemies, psychological tension, revenge, obsession, and a romance that walks the line between love and destruction, Insatiable launches the Edge of Darkness Trilogy with a dark and addictive atmosphere. This is a mature dark romance, and readers should review the author's content warnings before reading.
