Heartless Hunter (Crimson Moth, #1)

by Kristen Ciccarelli

She’d put them on earlier tonight, and they dripped from her ears like beads of blood. The earrings were her answer—failure

She was like a deer making eyes at the wolf that wanted to eat her for lunch. Stupid deer.

Very "Lion and the lamb" here lol

I’m in love with him. Instead of getting Gideon Sharpe out of her system tonight, Rune had gone and gotten herself addicted. The hunted had fallen for the hunter.

“The point is to live,” he said, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. “The point is to let me give you this one small thing, because I couldn’t give you the rest.”

And this was why it felt so wrong to have an ocean between them: the Blood Guard captain had been hunting the Crimson Moth for so long, she felt lost without him trailing her.
