Unrepentaint. Impenitenti

One of the most successful female writers of italian romance fiction.

A dark, academia-set romance involving forbidden love, an age gap, a fine line between love and madness, guilt and innocence, desire and danger.

Disillusioned by the justice system, Kerys is determined to find the man who abducted her and left her with indelible marks. Only her search turns into a nightmare when she is sucked into a twisted and deadly game orchestrated by an enigmatic Game Master. What if the mask conceals her tormentor, as well as the man to whom she is irresistibly attracted?

Only one word can describe Kerys Westwood’s past: horror. Victim of an abduction, she bears the invisible marks of a trauma she cannot remember. Nothing has been the same since then: she feels soiled, judged and pitied, while her torturer remains unpunished. Searching for answers the police were unable to provide, Kerys decides to take charge of the situation and investigate by herself. She enrolls on Professor Bonavick’s criminology training course at the university.

Instead of making progress, however, her world turns upside down once again: Davil Crane, the charming but ambiguous assistant to the professor, is only the beginning of a highly dangerous journey. As an irrational and unstoppable attraction ties her to Davil, an enigmatic “Game Master” traps her and the other students on the course in a twisted game: each of them will have to confess their faults, or run the risk of dying. Kerys realises that nobody is truly innocent. Every new clue propels her into a vortex of suspicions and shocking revelations. And the worst suspicion of all is that Davil could be the abductor she is hunting down. Or else the Game Master who threatens them all. Or both.
