Dead Butterflies

From Lacee Hightower comes a new serial killer dark romance novel! My God, my forgiving God, why have you deserted this man who is so loving, so caring, and so generous? Why have you abandoned, betrayed, destroyed, and left him broken, bitter, and riddled with guilt? Grant mercy to this beautiful, tormented soul. Release him from this resentment and vengeance. Free his heart to love again. Forgive his sins of blood and lead him from the pathway of the forsaken.  This connection between us was instant, eerily so. He set my body on fire, devoured me with his dark pleasures, and led me into a chilling territory of evil wrongdoings and burning passion. He had the power to seduce me, control me, and chew up my heart and spit it right back out at my feet without an ounce of remorse. I should have loathed Derek Kinnard and his vile, unforgivable, forbidden acts. Thoughts of any future with this vengeful man were preposterous, unethical, and against everything I'd ever believed in. When he claimed that we were nothing more than an insurmountable disaster, I should have run and never looked back. But I couldn't stay away. He was my addiction. He triggered parts of me that I'd kept locked and hidden, and taught me a whole new side to passion, love, and life. When the two of us were together, we were driven by our need and my heart didn't seem to care about what he'd done in the past. True love is taking the good with the bad, the darkness with the light, the dirty with the untainted, and never forsaking those who mean the most. The more Derek Kinnard tells me to walk away, the more I seem to persevere. Some risks are worth taking, and some secrets simply worth keeping hidden… REVIEWS: This story grabs from the very first paragraph and refuses to let you go until the last words. Devlin Wylde Ohh, Lacee ... that was a journey! Story-wise, it's basically perfection. Fantastic characters, brilliant plot with some surprises throughout. K. Sanders This story is a terrifying look into the dark heart of a serial killer. Fantastic! D. Appleby Girl, you nailed it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was hooked by the prologue. The sex was hot of course, but I was more interested in how they would work out their differences. G. Churm
