Dr. Elara Fontaine is the best trauma surgeon in Louisiana—and the only person who knows what she did the night Gerald Picou bled out on her table. She has built a life with borders: work, sleep, and no surprises. Then Judas Marchand, the executioner of The Hollow, arrives wounded at her ER. He was supposed to collect her, not fall for her. A Southern Gothic dark romance with explicit content and graphic violence.
