Skin (Renegades #1), by Sybil Knight (softback, english edition)

🇬🇧 This Book Is In English

Obsession was a five-letter word. Ten years in the making. And her name was Emily.

Skin by Sybil Knight
(Renegades, Book 1 — standalone in an interconnected world)

A dark Rumpelstiltskin retelling that twists the fairy tale into something obsessive, dangerous, and impossible to put down.

When Emily leaned forward, offered a deal, and thought she had the upper hand, he said why the hell not. Five days. Thirty minutes each. She could ask him anything — anything but his name. That, she'd have to figure out on her own. It should have been simple. He was the man she stole from, whose life she ruined, whose future she destroyed.

But obsession has a long memory. He has spent ten years waiting. And now that she's right in front of him, he has no intention of letting her go. She thought she was making a deal. She had no idea she was walking straight into a trap — and that the man holding the door open had been hers all along.
