Depraved Devotion

The Joker meets Pen Pal in this dark, forbidden romance where a criminal psychologist enters a game of cat and mouse with her serial killer patient.

My patient is stalking me… and he’s a psychopath.

I’ve dedicated my life to understanding the darkest corners of the human psyche, but nothing prepares me for him. Ghost. The man is a brilliant, ruthless serial killer who thrives on chaos. Just like his cult following enrapt by his brutality and beauty, he’s completely unhinged. And he’s obsessed with me.

So when Ghost turns himself in and demands to speak to me, I’m forced to confront the beautiful monster sitting across the glass. And the one inside—the one lurking in my own fractured soul. Ghost's rapt attention brings goosebumps to my skin and sends chills down my spine. I choose to believe my reaction is based in fear. When I'm alone in bed, it's harder to convince myself.

As boundaries fade and the line between doctor and patient blurs, Ghost proves to know more about me than possible. Soon, I’m faced with a question: What am I willing to pay to unveil the truth about my haunted past? Because to Ghost, the price is me. All of me.
