Damaged: A Necessary Evils Novella

The first time Dimitri Castallanos experienced obsession, he committed a felony. He was five. Dimitri is a psychopath. And he's still obsessed with just one person.

Arlo Miller was born a victim, raised as his father's punching bag and his mother's scapegoat. Dimitri was his only protection, and they took him away.

As children, they clung to each other. As adults, they pretend neither remembers, while both harbor secret crushes on the other. Dimitri hides his feelings behind a mask of indifference. Arlo hides his by falling for very bad men.

When one of those men confronts Dimitri, this time it's Arlo who commits a felony. Murder. But Dimitri won't allow Arlo to take the fall. With the help of Dimitri's mother and seven psychopaths, they now have twenty-four hours to fake an alibi, hide a body, and confess their true feelings for each other, once and for all.

Which is harder? Falling in love or getting away with murder?
