About the book:

The man lurking in the shadows has marked her as his—and he might be the very thing that saves her—in this darkly funny follow-up to Of Ink and Alchemy.

Ever since her past nearly destroyed her, Anna Kucera has kept a low profile. She operates by three rules: stay sober, stick to routine, and remain in control. A little boring? Perhaps. But it’s safe, and she’s not about to let anything—or anyone—threaten the sanctuary she’s built for herself.

Casper Carrows won’t let anyone get too close to him. The tattoo artist has learned the hard way: everyone leaves. But that doesn’t stop him from wanting Anna when she comes in for a cover-up. She should be off-limits. Not just because she’s his client but because she’s a good girl, contained in her perfect little box. And he’s reckless, impulsive, a mess.

When Casper sees the brutal scars on Anna’s back, his curiosity quickly swells into obsession. From a hidden corridor inside her house, he begins to keep a watchful eye. And the more he witnesses of her carefully controlled life, the harder he falls.

Meanwhile, in Casper’s studio, Anna feels a way she hasn’t in years: alive. But opening herself up to him means facing the truth that, while his devotion is dark, his need to protect her might be even darker . . .

Of Karma and Corridors is a dark stalker romance with a morally gray MMC and mature content featuring explicit scenes.

About the authors:

Sloane St. James is the award-winning author of the Lakes Hockey and Sky Ridge Hotshots series. She loves writing strong, witty women and the dirty-talking men who love them. In her free time, St. James enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, watching hockey games, and of course, reading romance. She resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Madi Danielle is a romance author, wife and mother to one daughter and several animals. When she isn’t reading or writing you may find her watching hockey or some cheesy movie. Madi has been writing since she was a teenager, but it took a backseat when she went to college and got her degree in Family and Human Services. After working as a social worker, she got back into writing as an escape and hasn’t looked back since. Madi is originally from Arizona, but moved to Oregon to attend UO, which is where she still resides with her family.
