Seit Jahren benutze ich kleine Taschenspielertricks, um Touristen auf dem Strip in Las Vegas auszunehmen, und hatte nie Probleme. Bis jetzt. Eigentlich hätte ich wissen müssen, dass es eine dumme Idee ist, dem attraktiven Mann mit den eiskalten Augen die Uhr zu stehlen. Leider gehört Vernunft nicht zu meinen Stärken. Dark Romance. Düstere Themen. Eindeutige Szenen. Deutliche Sprache. "Catching The Hunter" ist der vierte Teil der "The Twisted Kingdom"-Reihe und sollte nicht ohne das Vorwissen der anderen Bände gelesen werden. Alle Bände der Reihe sind bereits erschienen.
