Keira

I was born with darkness in my veins. My name is Keira Hill. I'm the daughter of one of the country's most notorious serial killers. I hide in plain sight. Pretending to fit in. Pretending I'm not haunted by my father's skeletons. In two months' time, he's scheduled to be executed. With a copycat killer on the loose, my world is turned upside down when I find myself at the centre of the killer's twisted mind games—the queen on the chess board. If I want to win, I must embrace my own darkness. The legacy I have spent my life running from. I must play the game.

King

It started out as a silly dare. Fuck Jimmy Hill's daughter. But it quickly morphed into something far more. Especially now that Blackwoods is terrorised by a vicious serial killer who has his eyes on Keira, the girl who's quickly slithering inside my veins. I'm the only one who sees her—the only one who knows how to purge her darkness. The only one twisted enough to match it with my own and offer it back in spades. The only problem? Keira belongs to someone else. As if that will ever stop me.

Author's Note:

Sinister Legacy is an 18+ erotic horror novel. This book is very dark and includes graphic sexual content, intense scenes of primal play and CNC, graphic violence, and strong language. A full list of trigger warnings can be found in the front matter of the book. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
