After a violent attack leaves Lila bruised, shaken, and questioning everything she thought she knew, the only person who refuses to leave her side is Ethan—the quiet, relentless man who has been protecting her from the shadows for reasons she doesn’t fully understand.
Moving in with him was meant to be temporary—just until she feels safe again. But safety has a way of blurring into something softer, deeper… something she’s terrified to want.
Because Ethan isn’t telling her everything. And Lila has secrets of her own.
As danger closes in, their fragile peace fractures. Every step forward pulls them closer—into trust, into longing, into a love that feels too dangerous to touch.
But someone is watching. Someone knows exactly what happened that night. And they won’t let Lila go—not without a fight.
A slow-burn, emotionally charged romance with a pulse of suspense—perfect for readers who love protective men, wounded heroines, and healing that begins in the quiet moments.
