There Is No Devil by Sophie Lark (Paperback)

Cole and Mara’s relationship has grown into something that consumes them both. Cole, a sculptor with a darker side, has always lived with control and distance from others. Now he finds himself caught in emotions he never expected to feel, drawn into a connection that challenges the life he once accepted as normal.

Mara is changing as well. No longer defined by the trauma of her past, she is beginning to build a life through her art and pursue the success she once thought impossible. For the first time, both of them begin to believe that happiness might be within reach.

But their past has not disappeared.

Alastor Shaw, known as the Beast of the Bay, is a relentless killer who once crossed paths with Cole. They had always hunted separately, until the night they both noticed the same woman. Now Shaw has discovered that the cold and calculating man he once knew has fallen in love with her.

Determined to destroy Cole, Shaw decides to turn Mara into the centre of his plan.

Facing a threat that refuses to fade, Cole is prepared to do anything to keep Mara safe. Protecting her means preparing her for the danger that surrounds them, even if that means pushing her toward choices she never believed she could make. As Shaw’s pursuit intensifies, Mara must confront whether she is ready to face the darkness closing in around them.
