I’m here to take you down.” – Saint
“You said that wrong. What you meant was that you’re here to fall in love with me.” - Alice
Saint
is in the family business…the business of hunting killers and closing
unsolved cases. He knows his reputation—most people think he is a
monster. Dangerous, cold, deadly…and with no conscience. But it takes a
guy like him to get the job done. And his latest job? Well, that job
has him tracking down a suspected Black Widow…the beautiful and
ever-so-seductive Alice Shephard. A woman who is linked to the
disappearance of three men.
Beauty can be the coldest lie of all.
Whispers
and scandal follow her every step, but Alice doesn’t seem to care. Is
she responsible for the disappearances—and possible deaths—of three
ex-lovers? Saint will find out. He’s stepping into her web, and if she’s
guilty, he’ll personally lock her away, just as he has done on case
after case before. Emotions never get in his way.
Wanting her isn’t a surprise. Needing her is.
Alice
seems immune to his charm. Fair enough, mostly because Saint isn’t
known for charm. But he is hell on wheels when it comes to seduction,
and the attraction between him and Alice is electric. When he touches
her, need rocks through him, a desire so fierce that it threatens to
consume them both.a But Saint can want her and still lock her away. No problem. Or…
Problem. What if she’s not guilty?
When
Alice saves his life, Saint realizes there is more to her than meets
the eye. Maybe she’s using him, maybe everything is a game to her, or
maybe…maybe Alice is the real victim in the story and not the villain.
Unlikely, but…what if? What if all along someone else was attacking from
the dark? What if someone else is determined to claim Alice, to
eliminate all other men from her life?
And what if Saint might just wind up losing the one person he needs above all others?
They call him Saint, but everyone knows he’s a monster…and he’s ready to let his dark side out to hunt.
Author’s Note: As
part of the Ice Breakers, Saint is intent on solving cold cases. But
his latest case heats up—or rather, goes molten—the instant he meets
Alice. She’s supposed to be a villain. Fair enough, he’s not exactly
hero material. Can two villains fall in love? Time to find out. These
two don’t play nicely, they love hard and dirty, and they will take on
the world for each other.

I liked this story but was surprised that it didn't turn out to be my new favorite.
Both Saint and Alice turned out to be good, fierce main characters. One's that had quite a bit of depth. They also had quite the instant strong attraction although they wish they didn't. Like they later said, they each saw the darkness in each other and weren't afraid of it. There's also a whole lot of secrets, especially on Alice's end. But as the story goes on you realize there are a whole bunch of secrets that even Alice doesn't know. If you want emotions displayed in your story, that happens too. With quite a large amount of sexual tension and bedroom scenes too.
Can Alice even trust friends, one of them being Logan Becker ? What's going on with him?
There are plenty of people who are positive that Alice is a Black Widow, and they are hungry to nail her. So was Saint, until things didn't seem to add up. The action keeps getting more and more dangerous until things come to a stunning conclusion.
