A tragic past threatens to destroy a passionate future in this dangerously sexy new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Wicked for You.
After a violent tragedy nearly destroyed her, Lily Taylor ran away, changed her name, and started over. When her deadly nemesis resurfaces to eliminate his loose end, she turns to the last man she should trust—a stranger with a history of violence and an intoxicating sexuality she can’t refuse… Though strong-armed into locating Lily to help put away a drug lord, ex-con Stone Sutter isn’t anyone’s snitch. When he finds the terrified beauty, he vows to keep her safe—but he isn’t sure he has the strength to shield her from his own desires. As an unquenchable fire sparks between them, Lily’s tormentor stalks ever closer, and she must overcome her darkest fear to survive. Can she trust the bond she and Stone have formed as they’re falling in deeper?

If you are a fan of Shayla Black’s Wicked Lovers series then Falling in Deeper I am sure won’t disappoint.
Stone Sutter has been given a great opportunity, get Lily Taylor to testify against a mobster that destroyed her life and his jail sentence will be revoked and he will be a free man. The problem is that Lily has been keeping her identity a secret to everyone around her including her employers at the Dominion or at least she thinks she has, and Lily won’t give Stone the time of day. The other issue is that getting to know Lily has become more than just a way to get a get out of jail free card, Stone knows he wants more from her ever since he kissed her on the first day they met. Now he needs her to trust him while running from the people who want to kill her.
I will be honest this is the first book I have read in this series and I was a little lost in the beginning. Once the story moved to Stone and Lily I did enjoy it, the writing was fast paced and well writen. Love the dual 3rd person POVs to help with the ARC of the story. There is also a great twist that I didn’t see coming and the action was well done as well as a lot of faces from the other books. I am not sure if I would classify this as being a true standalone though, since I was lost in the beginning it was hard to really invest in these characters like I wanted to.
