Lilith breaks up with her man who's been promising marriage and legally can't deliver. Living above her boutique and trying to get her life back, she sees something she shouldn't have in the alley below. And suddenly, Ray is there, becoming her captor and her caretaker. He's dangerous, relentless, and obsessed with her.

Ray is unwell, okay? I mean, not in his right mind. But I love him. I'm admitting it. I love him down. Lilith was just trying to live her life, okay. And here comes this man being obsessed with her. Ray was funny and so wild. I love how he wasn't trying to hear nothing Lilith was talking about. He was going to claim her, fold her like a lawn chair, and take care of her whether she liked it or not. The intrigue surrounding why he had to kill her got a bit muddled at the end--it almost felt like too many things going on, but I did love her family and how they melded with her life with Ray. I love that at his core Ray was a protector and that Lilith was so practical, but knew when to put that aside and just let love (obsession?) win. They were hot together, and their compatibility on that front really rounded out the book. The prose captured you, in typical A. House fashion and I never felt let down. Lol. Such a good read.
