That is, until a bounty is placed upon his head. With his true identity now revealed to the IG Community, Leopold knows it's only a matter of time before the powerful family members of his victims come for blood.

Something surprisingly intimate—the one thing that scares Leopold more than torture. Reader Discretion Advised: Off page torture and abuse, and aftermath of rape.
