She wrote to the man who killed her father.
Now he’s writing back—with bodies.
Delilah North rebuilt herself from the ground up: new name, new city, new life. As a forensic psychologist, she profiles monsters for a living—quiet, clinical, controlled.
But the girl she used to be?
The one who whispered “thank you” to the neighbor who left her father’s corpse on their kitchen floor?
She’s not as dead as Delilah thought.
Because someone is killing again.
Brutal. Surgical.
Personal.
Every body a breadcrumb.
Every scene a signature.
And Delilah doesn’t need a profile to know who’s behind it.
Kent Shepherd is back.
The boy who vanished after saving her.
The man who wrote her letters from the dark.
The monster she never stopped dreaming about.
What follows is a cat-and-mouse game soaked in blood and obsession—where every clue is a confession, every crime scene a love letter, and every moment alone might end in surrender… or a slit throat.
She should run.
She should turn him in.
But the truth is, Delilah doesn’t want him to stop.
She wants him to find her.
CARVED is a violent, high-heat stalker romance about love as obsession, murder as courtship, and what happens when the only person who ever really saw you… was the one holding the knife.
