Blurb:

Ready or not, rabbit, here I come!

 Lex

The rabbit’s foot sways in the car, a bad omen that I choose to ignore. Her innocent face and offer for a ride are too tempting. Little does she know, I’m a dangerous man on the run, a sociopath with a thirst for the thrill of the hunt. Selena is my rabbit, and I’m about to ensnare her in my trap. As we speed toward the border, emotions I thought I was incapable of stir within me. But danger lurks around every turn, and the stakes rise with each passing moment. What will happen when we reach our destination? Will I let her go, or will I keep her by my side forever? The game has just begun, rabbit. Are you ready to play?

Buckle up for a heart-pounding ride with Hitched, the dark hitchhiker romance that will leave you begging for more.

Hitched is a dark m/f hitchhiker standalone and has an HEA.
