Danger, desire, and secrets in Saint View

An abandoned warehouse, a waiting knife, and a countdown set the stakes for this second installment in the Saint View Murder Squad trilogy. The central relationship threads are tangled with danger: X is presented as both an unsettling pursuer and a possible threat, while Whip and Levi are connected to the protagonist through desire, a past transaction, and letters. As secrets and lies come to light, the story’s romantic tensions unfold alongside a murder-squad thriller setup. The publisher notes that this book is not a standalone and should be read after *X’s and O’s*. It also carries a warning that its dark themes may be triggering for some readers.

Book overview

Three...Two...One... The game has just begun.

 

Shadows crawl across the walls of an abandoned warehouse. A knife waits on the table.

 

A clock bleeds away the seconds.Someone isn't leaving alive.

 

My only chance of survival lies with the three men searching for me in the dark.

 

I'd let my guard down with X, the funny psychopath who has been following me for weeks, claiming I'm his future wife...Until he put his fingers around my throat and the laughter died away. Now he's convinced he's going to kill me and I'm not entirely sure he's wrong.

 

Whip is the sin I paid for. He was supposed to be a transaction-one night only. Instead, he took my firsts and left me craving seconds neither of us should want.

 

And Levi... the ex-prisoner who wrote me letters that stole my heart. But love doesn't protect us from a killer who knows all our secrets.

 

As sins are exposed and lies unravel, one thing becomes apparent.

 

The game isn't over.

 

And the rules are written in blood.

 

Whips and Chains is the second book in the Saint View Murder Squad trilogy and cannot be read as a standalone. Start the series with book 1, X's and O's. This book contains dark themes that may trigger some readers.
