Lights Out

Navessa Allen

Trauma nurse Aly Cappellucci has a thing for masked men online. Cybersecurity expert Josh Hammond has a thing for one follower in particular — and after a drunken comment begging him to break in wearing a mask, he decides to make the fantasy reciprocal. Their consensual stalker romance is dark, filthy, and surprisingly funny… until a second stalker with worse intentions forces Josh from predator to protector.

“I want someone with a soul as black as night. Someone who would burn the world down for me and not lose a single minute of sleep over it.”
