Dare You to See Me by Ryan Marie

Malik
Being the nice guy in the trio of brothers has its benefits. I’m the guy that can make you laugh when you’re having a bad day. You can count on me for a good time. And when it comes to kids, I’ve got a soft spot while my grumpy brothers avoid them.
So when the single mom walks her way into my life, it’s easy to charm her with my personality. But I quickly become infatuated with her and I learn to blend into the night.
My obsession, my hunger, grows deeper each day that it becomes hard to control my urges. The itch to be near her, smell her, feel the heat from her body is insatiable. Even if she doesn’t know I’m there. Watching. Always watching.
What goes bump in the night is always discovered in the light of day. And when the woman who is quickly stealing my heart finds out the lengths I will go to protect and love her, I’ll learn what it’s like to lose the biggest part of me.

Moving away from the eyes and ears of my small town was the best thing I could do for my daughter and I. We needed to be far from the gossip about poor Sunny who lost her marriage and her husband in the same day. We needed a fresh start.
Meeting a new man is the last item on my list when we settle in Cattywump Bay, but it seems he found me. Tall, dark and handsome, and let’s not forget my daughter’s teacher. He’s off-limits in the worst way, but he’s not the only man who has my attention. The mysterious stranger behind the mask seems to know me better than I do.
I know I’m dancing with danger, but it feels so good.
Just when my heart chooses the path to follow, I’m hit with another storm of chaos and betrayal. Now I’m left wondering if I’ll always be on the run from the tragedy that haunts me.
But running won’t be so easy when the danger can always see me.
