Dear Reader,

Lucien and Raven are two characters who have been in my head for a long time, and I’m delighted to finally bring them to life in Serial Escape. This story actually has many elements that I like to find in the books that I read myself. There’s an escaped serial killer...a second-chance romance...and a mature hero with a gruff exterior.

Lucien is pretty sighworthy, if I do say so myself. And I love my wonderful heroine, Raven, as well. She’s been through hell. She’s lost those closest to her. She’s rebuilt her life. And she has a nice solid wall around her heart. She’s tough and kind and knows what she wants, too. All of which makes her a perfect match for Lucien.

Happy reading,

Melinda Di Lorenzo
