![]() ![]() But once she discovers that he is locked into an arranged marriage, her heart shatters. ![]() Along the way, she starts to see Darian's softer side and unwillingly falls in love.

But when a mysterious lightning storm suddenly strikes, she is hurled into the alternate dimension of Carnelia where she is discovered by an arrogant yet attractive nobleman, Darian Fiore. The problem is-he's in another dimension.Īfter the death of her father, Marisa only wants to find comfort on her daily ride through the woods of Gold Hill. Eighteen-year-old Marisa MacCallum always believed that the man of her dreams was out there somewhere. ![]() ![]() ![]() And while her inability to get along with co-workers is definitely due to a lack of social graces (you’ll LOL at a few unwitting moments of rudeness), it also comes from her steadfast refusal to connect. Her weekend vodka-drinking seems excessive. Her plan to marry a local rock star in order to impress Mummy is just weird. ![]() Though I was instantly won over by her cheerful narration, it wasn’t long before I began to suspect that Eleanor is not as fine as she pretends.

But in the world Leo lives in, as he may soon learn, those rules may be the only thing keeping him alive. But sometimes the reward is worth the risk, and when a woman from Leo’s past comes to him with a sure-fire score to nab a few million worth of diamonds from Police Evidence, all his rules and cautions go right out the window. “Coward” (the Eisner Award-winning first volume) is the story of Leo, a man who can plan and execute almost any heist, but only if he’s convinced the plan is safe enough. Both a thriller and a deconstruction of vigilantism, Kill or Be Killed is unlike anything this award-winning team has done before. The darkly twisted story of a young man forced to kill bad people, and how he struggles to keep his secret as it slowly begins to ruin his life and the lives of his friends and loved ones. ![]() |
