“Anticipation and anxiety are a potent mixture that is driving me insane, and I don’t care as long as Massimo falls into insanity with me.” ~ Mila

Mila
Becoming an investigative officer was the last thing I had ever thought I would do, but life throws you curveballs, and karma apparently has it out for me. It was only one night six years ago, but that is all it takes to leave you terrorized day in and day out.
However, looking into my case seems to be an even bigger hassle than I was prepared for. Despite everything I told the cops and hospital staff, the case file contains little to no information. That is until a serial killer begins to show his work across the city. The dots start to connect themselves, and suddenly the can of worms I have opened is one I can't undo. With the department working against me, I have to turn to a criminal for help... Only he isn't as deranged as I thought an organized criminal would be. He saved my life one night. Now I can't shake him, and I don't think I want to.

Massimo
I came to Vegas with the sole purpose of finding the men who killed my father and ensuring their walk to hell is a slow and painful one. The last thing I expected was for a brilliant, inky-haired girl to fall into my arms (and I mean that in the most literal sense). Now I can't keep my priorities straight. Her soft voice and even softer skin have burned themselves into my mind, making it hard to focus on anything else.
Avenging my father's death doesn't feel as important when the demon that has haunted her for the last six years still breathes the same air as her.
