Moving in with four strangers should have been the fresh start Elle Beckly desperately needed. Escaping an abusive relationship, she takes the only affordable room she can find-an apartment shared with four brothers she's never met before. Michael, Jared, Aaron, and Damian De Laney are polite enough... distant enough... strange enough that Elle almost ignores the unease curling in her stomach. Until she recognises one of them. A memory from a high school party she doesn't fully remember. A face she definitely shouldn't know. What Elle doesn't realise is that she isn't walking into a new home. She's walking back into something she never escaped. Because the De Laney brothers have known her for years. Watched her. Waited for her. And now that she's here, there's no letting her go. In their world, love isn't gentle. It's possessive. Obsessive. Dangerous. And Elle is already too far in to turn back. A dark why-choose romance filled with obsession, control, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. ___________________________________________________________________________________ This book is a work in progress and will be updated regularly.
