Book Description:
When Drake started the night at his father’s campaign fundraiser, he never imagined he’d end it being conned into buying drugs on the West Side. Losing high-stakes poker has its consequences, but he’d repeatedly face them just to hear Lacey Douglas sing. Drake sees Lacey light up the stage, and he has to have her. But his intentions for being on her side of town turn out to be the reason he can’t.
Chicago native Lacey has dreams of the opera, but life has its obstacles. Lacey has come to know her hardships as part of living in the real world and accepts them fully. When Lacey meets the intense and invigorating Drake, a fire is lit inside her, unleashing those dreams again.
Two paths that should have never crossed prove to create the exact pairing the other needs. But when their worlds take time to catch up, everything they have is tested. Finding the space between the two sides that challenge them will be hard, but it’s the only place that will keep them together.
Book Trailer
Excerpt:
“I like that lip ring of yours.”
“You do, huh?” God, he was so direct.
Holy heck, I had to watch myself around this guy.
“Mmmhmm, especially when you bite it.
It’s like you’re nervous or something. Do I make you nervous?”
He ran his fingers from my hand and up
my arm. He stopped at my elbow, brushing it gently.
My breath caught in my throat. “No, I’m
not nervous.” Clearly a lie, but I thought the word came out casually. I
shrugged. “It’s just a tick. A habit. You’d bite it too if you had one.”
He laughed his deep laugh again. “Oh,
really?”
“Yeah. They’re fun to play with.” I bit
down on it. “To suck.” I sucked on it.
His brows shot up, and the brushing of
his fingers froze on my elbow. I guess he was the one who was nervous now.
“You should get one. If anything to give
yourself something to do when you’re bored. Excellent entertainment.” I sucked
down on it a little harder.
He breathed in deep. “You’re making me
want to go out and get one right now.”

College junior Ariel Richmond is working on year three of Project Normalcy.
Her house reeks of keggers past and her bestie is just a slight bit vulgar. But the thing is—they both aid in making life refreshingly uneventful.
So much for hard-earned mediocrity when Luca Grinaldi appears on the scene.
Luca’s sudden presence on campus is hard to ignore. Those bright eyes act like a beacon to unsuspecting females, and with features like his, he’s got to be moonlighting for GQ. Luca hopelessly captivates Ariel with his confidence and charisma, but the mysteries surrounding him make him nearly untouchable. And just when Ariel grows close enough to unlock his secrets, a tragic event sends her life in a downward spiral.
That steady life is no longer an option and allies quickly become scarce. The mysterious Luca seems to be the only one willing to help her—but with that trust comes the burden of his secrets. He has a dark mission of otherworldly proportions, and is willing to sacrifice as many lives as it takes to see it completed.
Gone are the days of simply maintaining normalcy, and if Ariel isn’t cautious with her trust, so soon may be her future.
The Crimson Hunt is a New Adult Science Fiction Romance.
