A Lovely Kind of Madness by Bella J

He comes back every time.

Damaged. More damaged than before.
He shows up in the dark and for a few days the world makes sense again — his hands, his voice, the muffins he makes before dawn because he doesn’t know any other way to say ‘I love you.’

Then he leaves.
He always leaves.
Back to her.
The woman who broke the boy and built the weapon.

Valeria won’t stop until she consumes him. She wants the assassin, the monster, the man — all of it, every scarred and broken piece — branded so completely with her name that he forgets he ever had one of his own.

There’s a word for that. Possession.
And she’s just found the perfect way to make that happen.

Me.
I’m the leverage now.
Which means nowhere is safe anymore, and the killer I’ve fallen for is the only thing standing between me and a woman who has never once lost.

I know what this is going to cost us both.
I’m choosing him anyway.

A Lovely Kind of Madness is the second book in the Pretty Savage trilogy and should be read after A Pretty Kind of Violence.
