Fans of JODI ELLEN MALPAS and SYLVIA DAY will enjoy the first installment of this dark and heated opposites-attract romance exploring obsessive lust, dangerous passion, and two tangled hearts free-falling on a devastating descent. DARKER THAN LOVE . . . From the outside looking in, Dr. Alex Marlowe has it all. A comfortable middle-class upbringing, a great job as a GP, a picturesque cottage in a quiet village, and all the support she could need to get over her cheating ex-fiancé. So, when dark and dangerous Jake Lawrence appears bleeding on the doorstep of her late-night surgery in London's East End, she isn't prepared for the myriad of feelings he leaves behind. DEEPER THAN LUST . . . Respected and feared in London's violent criminal underworld, Jake lives the furthest life from Alex's safe suburban existence, yet he can't get the classy doctor out of his mind. He's forged his reputation from nothing on these streets, but no amount of fancy cars or high-end apartments can make him feel as if he belongs. Could Alex finally be his key to redemption, or will his growing obsession only lead them both into greater danger? A FALL SO HARD THERE'S NO COMING BACK. One thing's for sure: Neither of them want to let go. But with so many secrets lurking in the shadows, Jake's relentless pursuit of Alex starts to attract some unsavory attention. With all eyes on them and no clear way out, Alex soon realizes she hasn't just fallen in love...but into something much darker. "Ms. Drake is an author to watch. Hers is a rare talent, her books raw, passionate, yet measured . . ." -EA Carter, author of The Transcendence Series "A Dark Fall is a beautiful book, filled with stunning internalizations, vivid detail, and breathtaking love scenes, all while tackling uncomfortable truths about prejudices, societal biases, and whether one can ever be truly worthy of redemption . . ." -Early Reader Review "Loved this entire story! Written beautifully, enhanced with great characters (even the evil ones). I caught myself thinking of Alex & Jake when my phone was nowhere around . . ." -Early Reader Review
