“Aaron Jones was a spark in the dark. Beautiful. Dangerous. Capable of destruction. Kenny should have run. Instead, he lit the match.”
Aaron Jones knows all about the darkness lurking beneath polished façades. His parents were infamous for it. Determined to keep everyone at arm’s length, especially those who dig too deep, his carefully built walls start to crumble when he encounters his new professor, renowned criminal psychologist, Dr Kenneth Lyons.
Kenny has always been drawn to the darkness. But nothing prepares him for Aaron, the haunted student who awakens something dangerous in his carefully controlled world. As the son of the most infamous serial killers, Aaron’s past is a minefield of trauma and secrets.
Aaron is a beautiful, complex, irresistible puzzle, and one Kenny’s desperate to solve. Sweeping aside every professional and moral boundary, he crosses the line towards a forbidden, all-consuming obsession, where every touch is a sin and every whispered confession could lead to ruin.
But as a killer emerges, leaving a trail of echoes from Aaron’s past, their fragile relationship is tested in ways neither could have expected. And when the next target is someone close to Kenny, the line between Aaron’s bleak heritage and his innocence blurs.
Who the real monster is will leave them questioning everything.
Especially each other.
Dream a Little Dream (To Love a Psycho Book 1)is the first book in a gripping new trilogy of obsession, psychological tension, and dark romance where nothing is as it seems. Perfect for fans of twisted mysteries, forbidden attraction, and heart-pounding suspense.
Aaron’s breath was too shaky to respond, and nor did he show any trace of recognition. A brief dilation of his pupils was the only thing telling Kenny he’d even heard him. Then, brimming with defiance, Aaron growled through gritted teeth, “And I never want you to kiss me again.”
Kenny crushed Aaron against the tree, loosening his hand around his arm to trail it up behind his neck, and lost control. “Liar.”
“Which part?”
“All of it.” Kenny dug his fingers into Aaron’s neck and he freed his other hand from around Aaron’s arm. If Aaron wanted to leave, he could. He could push him off and run. But he didn’t.
“Prove it.”
Unable to stop himself any more now than he ever could have before, Kenny crashed his lips onto Aaron’s, hard and desperate, pulling every emotion he’d fought to hide to the surface. Aaron fisted Kenny’s shirt, pulling him closer, clinging to him like he was the only thing keeping him tethered to the earth. The kiss was wild, brutal, fuelled by everything they couldn’t say and as Aaron demanded access to Kenny’s mouth with his tongue, something broke inside him. Even more so when Aaron wrapped his arms around his neck, hoisted himself up, and clasped his legs around Kenny’s waist.
Kenny had to hold him against the tree to keep them both from falling to the ground, cutting Aaron’s back on the rough bark. But the need for him, for Aaron, was overwhelming. Uncontrollable. Because Aaron returned that want, that need, with his legs clamped around him, clinging onto him with every desperate kiss, probing tongue, forcing them deeper together than the last.
All Kenny had left was lust. And he roamed his hand beneath Aaron’s top, trailing his fingers over the lines of his ribs, his chest, up to his piercing, grazing the metal he now knew was there and wanted his mouth on. Then when Aaron gasped, a guttural, primal sound, he became an unrelenting mess of depravity, groans wild and uncontrolled as Aaron tightened his legs around his waist so Kenny could feel the hardness within his jeans.
There was no return from this. No moral ground to sink into. And he pulled back, both of them panting, breath clouding the air between them, and Aaron’s eyes were dark, intense, filled with something making Kenny’s pulse stutter. “There you are,” Kenny rasped, voice heavy with desire.
Aaron’s response was immediate, reckless. “Here I fucking am,” he panted, licking his sore lips with his enticing tongue. “And you fucking want me too.”
