To my husband, kidlet, and family,
thank you for your endless encouragement and love.
To my friend Dawn for being my sounding board and
first reader for this book. It might’ve been
burned in a bonfire before it was
done if you hadn’t helped me push past the roadblocks.
Thanks for being such a bossy cheerleader!
And finally, to my readers, thank you for continuing
on this journey with me. I look forward to
many more trips to come!

It’d been a lot to teach an eight-year-old.
I doubt Mom wanted me to have to face that kind of fear so early on, but when you’re a detective and there’s a killer on the loose with a vendetta against you, you do what you have to do. My mom never caught the killer, and I never forgot the lesson.
So even though he’s only a form on a screen, a cartoon really, I know the instant that he strides into the game what Master Dmitry is. I know what my body is trying to tell me even as I sit in the safety of my bedroom on the other side of a screen. Danger. Back away.
But I don’t. I can’t.
Dangerous men scare me. And I’m fascinated. After years of being mostly ignored, of failing at the dating game, of making high art of being put in the friend zone, I want to know what it’s like to be someone else. To not play it safe. To be desired.
I use my wireless controller and have my character, Lenore, flip her hair to catch his attention. She’s so unlike me, Lenore. All flowing blond locks and epic curves. Feminine with a capital F. She’s the girl the guys fantasize about. I want to be that girl for
