Volcano of Pain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781960630254)

Her stalker never forgot her, and there's no way he's going to let her go...

Desperate for a fresh start, Margaux moves to tropical Sunset Cay and drums up a hot surfer. Except her brother's best friend has always felt protective-and maybe even a little possessive-of her.

Margaux is an emerging dark romance writer, and her manifestation game is on point. So when she's catapulted into a full-time writing career and meets the surfer of her dreams, he seems like everything she thought she ever wanted.

But as their love grows, literal and figurative cracks start to emerge. Because he hasn't been entirely honest about his past.

And he's got plenty of secrets to hide.

YOU CAN HIDE YOUR HORNS...BUT THEY'RE STILL THERE.

Dex has always felt protective--and maybe even a little possessive--of Margaux, his childhood best friend's little sister. Covered in tattoos, and riding a motorcycle everywhere, Margaux has always felt a forbidden attraction to him.

HER SWEETEST DREAM BECAME HER DARKEST NIGHTMARE... BUT SOMEONE WAS WATCHING.

And he's got plenty of secrets of his own.

"Explaining a relationship with a narcissistic person is complicated, if not impossible. But that is exactly what Heidi Stark managed to do in this book. And she did it without rush, without judgement, and more importantly without filters." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She left me speechless with how well she was able to reflect all the feelings, making you empathize with the characters. She also made me have to take a linden tea for the anxiety she was causing me. But if there's one thing I like, it's when a book, a story causes a strong reaction, so for my part, I'm happy to suffer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
