The Lion & The Mouse: These Primal Games We Play
No Customer Reviews
Kenzie Blake leaves her abusive ex and walks straight into a night she should never have survived - drunk, heartbroken, and in the arms of a stranger whose presence feels like stepping into the dark on purpose. Jaxon Montgomery wasn't at Club Tantra to meet anyone.
He was there to collect a down payment for a kill. Ex-military.
Scarred.
Dangerous in ways no one sees coming. Then Kenzie stumbles into his orbit - tying him to his own bed, reading his medical file like it's a menu, mispronouncing his name with the confidence of someone who has no idea she's just awakened every violent instinct he's fought to keep buried. They destroy each other in one night. She leaves him ruined.
He hunts for her until the trail goes cold.
He kills her ex without knowing who the man belonged to. Years later, Kenzie becomes infatuated with a certain male stripper she finds online - a man whose eyes feel familiar, whose body feels like d j vu, whose presence reaches through the screen like a hand around her throat. She doesn't know it's Jaxon.
She doesn't know he's been waiting for her.
She doesn't know he's done pretending to be human about it. Jaxon doesn't reach out.
He pulls her in. Letters.
Instructions.
A trail through snow-covered woods lit by Christmas lights that glow like warnings.
A brutal execution meant for her eyes to see the monster that was always coming for her.
A winter cabin where the storm outside is nothing compared to the one inside. Kenzie runs.
Jaxon follows.
Every time. And when she finally learns the truth - who he is, what he's done for her, why he never stopped searching - it's already too late. She's his.
She always was. A ruthless, intoxicating Christmas dark romance about obsession, vengeance, and the one-night stand who comes back years later not to win your heart - but to claim your soul.
