Her Dark Monster from the Psych Ward…
Alex is somewhat of a legend in his fraternity and the campus overall. No one really knows what happened in the secret society's trial that landed him a room at the Montgomery Psychiatric Ward. He has the scars, both mental and physical, to mark his survival. And he hasn't spoken a word since then... until her.
Mila is his sister's best friend and roommate. The more time she visits him at Montgomery the more they each become obsessed with the other. She's the only one he shares his journaled thoughts and his whispered words with. But she has no idea just how dangerous he really can be.
When the time finally comes for him to leave and go back to the fraternity that pushed him there, everything is about to change. He's been watching and waiting in the shadows, manipulating things behind the scenes.
Meanwhile Mila has been on the hunt for the truth and revenge for what happened years before. But it's dangerous to dig for secrets in the dark and dangerous mystery that is Sigma Sin. Good thing she has her own fierce protector at her back.
These two were just meant to be, even if they are vastly different. Alex with his dark urges and Mila with her fierceness and love of playing with knives. They had so many sweet moments balanced out with steamy ones. The mystery, suspense, secrets, and twistedness gives this story the whole package. Love it! I want more from this world.
