He is the reason for the season of screams.

Holly McAllister pays her bills with blood. As a famous true crime podcaster, she narrates the gruesome details of the North Massacre to millions of listeners. She built an empire on the tragedy that sent her stepbrother to prison, but she never expected him to get released. Now Reed North is free, and he is coming home for Christmas.
He is not the silent boy who went away eight years ago. Reed is a dangerous man with a predator's gaze and a score to settle. He knows Holly sold their trauma for fame. When a blizzard seals them inside their isolated family cabin, he decides it is time to claim his cut of the profits.
Reed does not want cash. He wants total submission. He stalks her through the dark hallways, taunting her with sharp blades and rough commands that make her knees weak. He whispers that she always craved his darkness while he tears down her defenses. Holly realizes the only way to survive the holiday is to give the monster exactly what he wants.

This standalone book has themes of dark stepbrother romance, vengeful ex-con, holiday horror, forced proximity, and primal chase.
