He's a dangerous assassin who's been watching her every move. She's the good girl who should run the moment she catches his attention. But some temptations are impossible to resist—especially when they're wrapped in darkness.

Lucien Frost is the kind of man every warning tells you to avoid.

Dark.

Beautiful.

Ruthless.

And absolutely lethal.

He's a killer who lives in a world where weakness can get you killed.

And he's been watching her.

Learning her habits.

Discovering her secrets.

Knowing things about her that no stranger should ever know.

But watching from the shadows is no longer enough.

Now he wants her.

When she unexpectedly crosses paths with Lucien on campus, she immediately senses the danger surrounding him.

Everything about him screams trouble.

His cold exterior.

His intimidating presence.

The unsettling intensity of his attention.

She knows she should stay away.

But she doesn't.

Instead, she finds herself drawn toward the very darkness she's spent her life avoiding.

Because beneath Lucien's terrifying reputation lies something she never expected to discover.

A man who's just as broken as he is dangerous.

And the closer she gets, the more she realizes that the darkness inside him seems to recognize something hidden within herself.

Something she's never allowed herself to explore.

With every lingering glance and forbidden touch, the carefully constructed rules governing her life begin to crumble.

One kiss is enough to make her question everything she's ever believed.

Her loyalty.

Her innocence.

Her understanding of right and wrong.

Because Lucien isn't offering her a sweet, uncomplicated romance.

He's offering obsession.

Danger.

And a world where love and violence exist dangerously close together.

But the deeper she falls into his life, the more impossible it becomes to separate the monster everyone fears from the man she's beginning to crave.

And Lucien has a problem of his own.

For a man who's survived by remaining cold, calculating, and untouchable, falling for someone is the ultimate vulnerability.

His enemies know how to exploit weakness.

And she's becoming his greatest one.

As secrets unravel and dangerous loyalties are tested, their forbidden attraction threatens to destroy everything standing between them.

Because loving a killer doesn't just mean risking your heart. It means risking your life.

And once Lucien Frost decides someone belongs in his world, walking away may no longer be an option.

Dark, seductive, and dangerously addictive, Irrevocably delivers a high-intensity mafia romance featuring a morally gray assassin, a dangerously obsessive stalker hero, forbidden attraction, psychological tension, and a heroine who discovers that the darkness she's always feared might be exactly what she desires.

No vampires. No supernatural powers. Just one dangerously irresistible man who's every bit as obsessive as your favorite fictional monsters.
