One woman’s worst fears come to life in the third novel of the Devil’s Night dark romance series by New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.
Sending Damon to prison was the worst thing Winter could’ve done. It didn’t matter that he committed the crime or that she wished he was dead. Winter thought he’d cool off in jail and become anything but the horror he was or that, at the very least, she’d have time to disappear before he got out.
But she was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and prison only gave him time to plan. And while Winter anticipated his vengeance, she didn’t expect this. He doesn’t want to make her hurt. He wants to make everything hurt.
Damon knows he needs to get rid of Winter’s father, giving Winter, her sister and her mother nowhere to run. The Ashby women are desperate for a knight in shining armour. But that’s not who’s coming.
It’s time Damon took control of his future. It’s time he showed them all that he will never stop being the nightmare they think he is.
Damon won’t have to break into Winter’s home to do it. As the new man of the house, he has all the keys.

The games are back in the thrilling, final instalment of New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas’s Devil’s Night series.
They call it Blackchurch: a secluded mansion in a remote, undisclosed location where the wealthy and powerful send their misbehaving sons to cool off away from prying eyes.
Will Grayson has always been reckless, wild – and he’s never been bound by a single rule other than to do exactly what he wants. He learned long ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. In high school, he might have enjoyed backing Emory into corners when no one was looking, but he could also be warm. And fierce in keeping her safe.
But the truth is, he has a right to hate her. Because it’s all her fault. Everything. Devil’s Night. The videos. The arrests. She’s to blame – and yet she regrets nothing.
He never expected one of his enemies to come straight to him. But now he knows she’s here somewhere. And as the security detail leaves, and the door to the gilded cage opens, giving Will free rein of the house and grounds for another unsupervised month, he remembers with a smile . . .
Blackchurch houses five prisoners. And he’s only one of Emory’s problems.
