“I’ll marry anyone who will take me!” Hazel declared loudly. “I don’t need love!”

“Get down!” Will hissed. “You don’t know what kind of people are lurking around in here! Talking like that might get you killed!”

Hazel Dixon thought she was putting her troubled past behind her. But when the person she thought she trusted most betrays her, she loses her head and proposes to an entire bar full of strangers. 

Enter Will Sheffield, a charming stranger who decides to take her up on her offer to save her from herself. 

He spoils her rotten without expecting anything in return and Hazel's confusion only grows. She doesn't know why he is acting this way. Or why he reminds her so much of the 'dangerous' childhood friend she thought was gone forever...

Hazel in the Demon's Den

"He won't hurt me," Hazel repeated. "You don't have to worry about that. You can tell Abramson that too."


Eva didn't buy it. She ran a hand through her already messy hair in agitation. Hazel didn't know how else to explain her certainty without revealing the horrifying truth that she had married the son of her parents' killer.


A thought suddenly occurred to her. That day Will had come home early from work so upset…had he read the book? Did he see all of the terrible lies Abramson had to say about him? It was around the time the book had hit the New York Times bestseller list and seemed to be in every single store she passed.


It would make sense. He knew that all that talk about him wanting to kill her was nonsense as well as she did.


What had driven such a young child to try and barter with someone they knew could kill them? She hadn't been anything special back then; she was an average kid. There was absolutely no reason to try and keep her alive.


He Didn't Want To Kill Me
