"I've forgotten the answer to that question long ago. Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I've only ever walked in stolen shoes.
Could I be a girl who is searching for the meaning of life in faceless men? They were all so forgettable. Until he came along. He took me under a waterfall and made me forget my name, and in return, I took his instead.
Enzo Vitale.
An enigmatic man that will only ever love the deep sea. Or rather the predators that inhabit it. Turns out, he's not so different than the monsters he feeds. He lured me onto his boat like a fish in the ocean, seeking vengeance for my crime. Had I realized his intentions, and that a massive storm would leave us shipwrecked, I would've run.
Now, I'm a girl who's seeking refuge in a decrepit lighthouse with a man who loathes me almost as much as he craves me. He wants to hurt me, but the old caretaker of the abandoned island may have intentions far more sinister.
It's no longer a question of who I am, but rather, will I survive?"-- Provided by Amazon

Find Does It Hurt? H. D. Carlton in PDF, EPUB, ebook, audiobook, print, or library editions.
5 books in catalog
Dark eroticism and romantic suspense defined by intense, psychological tension mark the high-stakes fiction of the Cat and Mouse series, anchored by the bestselling novel Haunting Adeline. Written by H. D. Carlton, these narratives explore sinister fantasy, moral ambiguity, and dark themes that push boundaries within modern romantic suspense.
With international sales and frequent placements on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, Carlton has built a dedicated global readership drawn to unpredictable plots, atmospheric mystery, and complex antiheroes.
Born Hailey Danielle Carlton on September 27, 1996, the author began her creative path writing poetry during her youth. She eventually transformed her early poetic work into narrative prose, expanding her writing into full-length novels focused on intense erotic suspense and dark romance fiction.
Carlton resides in Oregon with her husband, two dogs, a cat, and a lighthearted ongoing reference to Bigfoot. Outside of crafting stories, she enjoys watching paranormal television shows and holds a playful fondness for mermaids. Her career gained significant global traction through independent publishing and viral word-of-mouth discovery, establishing her as a prominent figure in dark romantic fiction.
Carlton's signature style centers on crafting morally gray characters, dynamic pacing, and high-stakes conflict, frequently reminding readers to check their sanity at the door before diving into her stories. Her narratives deliberately reject traditional hero archetypes in favor of flawed, dangerous, and unpredictable protagonists.
Her stories frequently explore survival, obsession, trauma recovery, vigilante justice, and dark eroticism. Rather than shying away from heavy or uncomfortable topics, Carlton builds high-tension worlds where characters must navigate extreme physical and emotional circumstances.
