He comes back every time.
Damaged. More damaged than before. He shows up in the dark, and for a few days the world makes sense again—his hands, his voice, the muffins he makes before dawn because he doesn't know any other way to say I love you. Then he leaves. He always leaves. Back to her. The woman who broke the boy and built the weapon. Valeria won't stop until she owns him. The assassin. The monster. The man. She wants every scarred, broken piece of him branded so completely with her name that he forgets he ever had one of his own. There's a word for that. Possession. And she's just found the perfect way to make it permanent. Me. I'm the leverage now. Which means nowhere is safe anymore, and the killer I've fallen for is the only thing standing between a woman who has never lost and me. I know what choosing him will cost us. I'm choosing him anyway. A Lovely Kind of Madness is the second book in the Pretty Savage trilogy and should be listened to after A Pretty Kind of Violence.
