Watch Me Bleed

Description

Maren Rodriguez is not looking for anything. She’s thirty-two years old, freshly humiliated by a boyfriend who let a waitress in Tucson post his face on Facebook. She’s also keeping a list because she loves her best friend and she doesn’t trust the man Luna loves. His right-hand man keeps ending up on it. She calls him the sidekick, but she knows he isn’t. That’s what bothers her most.

Cade Crawford has been watching Maren longer than she knows. He first saw her nine months ago on a security feed, dancing with a raccoon at seven in the morning, completely at home in herself. He rewound it and has been watching it every day since.

When Maren stumbles onto something she was never supposed to find, Cade tosses her over his shoulder and heads north, because without context, without the full picture, she’s going to detonate something that can’t be rebuilt.

What follows is two weeks in a Colorado mountain cabin, a broken window, a chase through dark woods, and a slow, furious unraveling of every wall they’ve both spent their lives building. What starts as a fight in the aspens becomes something that was always going to happen.

Watch Me Bleed is a dark, explicit, grumpy-on-both-sides, forced proximity romance with a 23-year age gap, a kidnapping, a boob obsessed raccoon, a one-eared cat named Vincent Van Gogh, and a man who knew what this was long before she had any idea he existed.

Watch Me Bleed is a standalone story in the Watched in Darkness universe. Can be read alone, but for full context and the best experience, start with the Watched in Darkness duet—Watch Me Break and Watch Me Burn (Damien and Luna’s story)—first.

This book is a dark stalker romance. Be mindful of the trigger warnings:
