Keep Her Close

The board is set.The predators circle.And Sera Vale is done playing fair.Her tormentor waits in silence.Her men are slipping deeper-into obsession, into violence, into her.And lurking in the dark, another beast strikes. One who doesn't want to claim her.One who wants to erase her.But Sera Vale doesn't break.She breaks others.Her claws are sharpening.Her worshippers become more wicked.Her crown grows heavier…and bloodier.Some pieces will fall.Some lovers will burn.Some monsters won't survive what's coming.Because Sera Vale isn't prey.She isn't hunted.She hunts back.Her crown may slip.But it will never fall-she'll nail it to her own skull first. Keep Her Close is dark feminist energy in the worst, best, most unhinged way.It's vigilante justice mixed with gothic stalker reverse harem filth with poetic teeth. Holly Ryan is a pen name for a USA Today bestselling author who one day said, "Screw it. I'm gonna write books with some serious sizzle." She's fueled by wine, which is where the idea probably came from.
