In this âcarniepunkâ e-novella from the author of Wicked As They Come, a knife-thrower meets a lady journalist determined to uncover his dark and dangerous past.
Bad boy knife-thrower Marco Taresque is the hottest and most dangerous performer in the caravan. He keeps to himself until a pesky female journalist arrives, anxious to interview him about his checkered pastâhis last assistant disappeared under mysterious and bloody circumstances, earning him the nickname âThe Deadly Daggerman.â
Unsinkable journalist and adventurer Jacinda Harville doesnât take no for an answer, and sheâs determined to wear down Marco no matter how threateningâor incredibly desirableâhe might appear. He agrees to an interviewâbut only if sheâll let him strap her to a spinning table and throw knives at her body. How can she say no? And how can she resist him when he leans close for a kiss that strikes her more sharply than any blade? Itâs the first time sheâs let a man get the better of her, and sheâs determined it will be the lastâŚ
Just when she thinks she canât take any more of his games, Jacinda receives a note from Marco saying heâs finally ready to tell her the truth about what happened to his missing assistant. She sets out for an address miles away, but what she finds there turns the tables on everything she thought she knew about the tender lover who wears a smile as sharp as his knives.
As secrets are unraveled and passions take hold, Ginger realizes her hard heart has melted. But will it be too late to save Marcoâand herselfâfrom the daggermanâs dangerous past?
