A virtual dating experiment uncovers a deadly web of criminal activity in this steamy, decadently dark romance.

In this decadently dark romance, a virtual dating experiment spins into a deadly web of obsession, greed, love, and passion.

Josie Greene has always been a glass half-full kind of girl. But after a messy breakup, she's broke, betrayed, and barely getting by. Even her trusted tarot cards point to chaos in her future. And they're right- Axe MacKenzie needs her help.

As part of the tech CEO's latest covert mission, Axe has been developing a simulator to create any user's ""Perfect Match,"" and bubbly Josie is the ideal woman to test his product. When the gorgeous, reclusive billionaire makes her an offer-fake date him so he can launch his groundbreaking AI dating app-Josie's in no position to refuse.

But Axe's two worlds collide as the criminal underworld corrupts their experimental fling. What started as steamy role-play quickly spirals into a very real threat, leaving both Josie and Axe no choice but to uncover their well-buried pasts. With her life on the line, Josie will have to trust the man who has created the ultimate virtual illusion-and who might be hiding the most sinister truths of all...

Taylor Hutton is the pseudonym of a pair of writer friends, one of whom has twice been a finalist for the National Book Award and the other who is a New York Times bestselling author and Edgar Award finalist. Between the two of them, they have written over forty books, including, together, Strike and Burn. When they are not passing their latest sexy thriller back and forth on Google Doc, they are browsing bookstores, sending each other ridiculous memes, walking their dogs Trudy and Potato around their Los Angeles neighborhood, and making their children cringe with their TikTok videos.

Reviews for Axe and Grind

Praise for Strike and Burn ""This is a hot, sexy, mysterious novel with lots of twists, hot sex and romance. This is one you do not want to miss out on.""—Red Carpet Crash ""Hutton’s burning-hot sex scenes torch the pages, and the hallmark of the best dark romances emerges from the smoke: morally ambiguous characters whom readers will root for despite their deep flaws and violent tendencies. Strike and Burn is a can’t-look-away read.""—BookPage “Hutton’s multilayered characters captivate, particularly Strike, whose drive to deliver justice for Honor will please fans of alpha male heroes...[T]he thrilling plot keeps the pages turning.”--Publishers Weekly
