LAST Empathy DividerSynopsis 
Blake:
I am a brother I am a police detective I am a contract killer I don’t want to love I don’t want to feel I don’t want … EMPATHY.
They say some people are born with decreased activity in the front central lobe causing them a deficiency in empathy. Maybe that’s true about me but whether I was born this way or created in a moment of evil, empathy was something I didn’t possess until her green eyes met mine in the mirror and I couldn’t take her life. I didn’t want to feel, didn’t want this woman in my life complicating how I lived but she was there at every turn. Sent to haunt me for my sins. Her light so bright she provoked a shadow from everyone she touched. When a job turns bad quickly altering my life forever I’m forced to feel. When nothing is making sense I’m forced to face truths I never would recover from. When life drowns you in its cruelty you don’t know which way the current will drag you or who you’ll become once you re-surface.
Melody:
I was a daughter I was a student I was a victim Did I have his love? Did I make him feel? Did I have his empathy? When the actions of a soulless killer forces sorrow into my veins I never dreamed the man healing my wounds would be the one to leave the worst scar. His love would scar my soul. Scars are permanent; I will never feel the relief from them. Will I learn to live with them, remember why I have them and learn never to let him close enough to inflict more? Will I eventually cover them… like tattoos coating them with new memories, new love and new starts? I didn’t know these answers because the pain was too suffocating, the only thing I knew was they will always be under the surface lingering. He had scars too, from his sins. There is nothing that can cover them, they were too deep, too ugly, too dark and they marked us both forever.

LAST Empathy DividerMeet Ker DukeyKer Dukey
I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active... I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could of improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own. My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling. When I'm not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I'm a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister. You can find me on facebook where i love interacting with my readers.

Erin's Review

I was a Ker Dukey virgin until I read this book and I could slap myself for waiting to read her work! This story is dark, nothing is expected and kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Ker Dukey has you falling in love with someone that you should, by all accounts, be scared shitless of.
As much as I wanted to not like Blake, I couldn't help it, he wove his way in to my demented little heart. He evolves from a selfish monster into someone that is worthy of, dare I say it, empathy.
Melody represents everything that Blake isn't. Where he is dark, she is light. Where he seems to have no sense of love, she loves fiercely. They are mirror opposites both brought together through a heinous act that was meant to destroy, not heal.
The most surprising twist comes towards the end of the book. It was one I thought I had pegged but I had nowhere close to the whole truth. I couldn't stop reading. Needless to say, I am forever a Ker Dukey fan after this book and one clicked everything else. I am a huge dark romance fan and she is one of the absolute best I have ever read.
