Sinners Duet Book 1

The Pursuit of Control: A Twisted Tale of Obsession and Talent

Cole Blackwell, a renowned sculptor in San Francisco, is a man driven by his need for control. Wealthy, successful, and respected, he appears to have it all, but beneath the surface, he conceals a dark impulse that he carefully guards. Mara Eldritch, on the other hand, is a struggling artist, working multiple jobs to make ends meet while creating paintings that are destined to remain unseen.

A chance encounter between these two vastly different individuals sets in motion a chain of events that will leave them both irrevocably changed. When Mara narrowly escapes what seems to be certain death, Cole's interest is piqued, and he begins to stalk her, determined to unravel the mysteries that lie within this seemingly ordinary woman.

As Cole becomes increasingly obsessed with Mara, he begins to break the rules that have kept his true nature hidden, risking exposure of the darkness that lurks within him. Mara is acutely aware of the danger that Cole poses, but she is also drawn to the fact that he is the only person who has ever recognized her true artistic talent.

Caught in a web of twisted desire and manipulation, Mara finds herself being taught by Cole how to get what she wants – but at what cost? As the lines between love and obsession blur, the pair embark on a darkly sensual and brain-bending journey that will push the boundaries of their own morality and challenge the very nature of redemption.

The author, Sophie, has always been fascinated by true crime and the complex psychology of villains and anti-heroes. In "There Are No Saints," the first book in the Sinners Duet, she tackles the ultimate anti-hero – the serial killer – and sets out to redeem a character who starts so evil, it is a challenge that inspires her to explore new heights and depths in her writing.

Readers are warned that this book contains extremely dark themes that may be triggering to some. It is a steamy serial killer romance that will take them on a journey through the twisted mind of an artist on the brink of madness, blurring the lines between love and obsession, and challenging the very nature of redemption.
