Amanda desperately needed to get away. Her whole life had been about pleasing others - her straight-laced parents, her rule-bound teachers. When her best friend, Kayla, suggested they hop a cruise from Boston to Bermuda, Amanda leapt at the chance. This was her one chance to light the night on fire.
And then Evan stepped on stage.
Evan was exactly the type her country-club parents would have disapproved of. Ripped abs and soul-deep eyes. Lightning-fast fists. One glance and she knew she had to be his - if just for these seven brief, torturously-exquisite days.
And, oh, Evan...

Everything Kate has ever feared has come true. Sean's dark secret has come crashing down on them both, and their very lives are at stake. The days of quiet living and careful planning are in the past. Kate has to take action - NOW - if they are to get through this alive. What she first had with Sean was hot passion. It was beyond lust. It was Colpe di Fulmine - the thunderbolt which defies all reason. But now she realizes that this searing heat has developed into something fuller, richer, more soul-deep. She loves him. And if she doesn't dive in headfirst and do what has to be done, she'll...

Safety was within reach. Peace and her happily-ever-after were so close that Kate could taste the joy of it. And then, in an instant, it was all brutally, callously torn from her grasp. Now she is scrabbling, desperately clawing, for a grasp of something - anything - to keep her from sinking below the surface. She no longer dreams of walking off into the luminous sunset. She simply clings to the hope that she can somehow make it through the night alive. * * * Half of all proceeds of this novella benefit battered women's shelters.

There had been no other choice. Amanda did the one thing she had to do to keep her and Evan alive. There was no going back. There was no returning to the way things once were.
She didn't care.
She had crossed the line, and now nothing in life mattered. Not her parents, not her job, not what others might think or say. The only thing she held before her, like a blazing beacon in the darkest depths of night, was that she and Evan had to make it to the morning.
Alive.

The Soulless Abyss is...

Amanda's world had been broken beyond all repair. Shattered remnants lay scattered all around her. A mere seven days earlier her life had been ordered and ordinary. Now it was twisted beyond all recognition. She only knew one thing.
That Evan would be there by her side, no matter what Hell on Earth they faced.
It would take far more than Sven, Jeff, and their legion of amoral bastards to take them out. Amanda and Evan had something that the others could never dream of - absolute dedication and passion for each other. No matter what it took, they would see it through.
And make...

And then Sean walks in.
She knows she should stay far away. Ex-felon. Rippled muscles and toned fists. But there's something about those eyes. Something that, against everything sane and logical, connects deep within her. And she has no idea why.
Then his secret is ripped free from the dark shadows - and their lives teeter on the brink of destruction.
