She ran to disappear. He found her to possess. Now she doesn't want to be saved- she wants to be kept. Wren was broken, bleeding, and ready to vanish when he found her in the woods. Callum-the quiet stranger with shadows in his eyes and monsters in his head. He took her in, locked her away, and promised she'd never belong to anyone else again. But Callum isn't alone in his mind. And Cain doesn't ask. Cain takes. As her innocence rots beneath their touch, Wren begins to crave the unthinkable-pain, control, devotion so twisted it borders on worship. In their cabin of secrets and scars, love isn't tender. It's brutal. Consuming. Addictive. She should run. She won't. Because she's not his prisoner. She's his doll. His obsession. His perfect little ruin. This is not just a dark love story. This is a surrender. ---- ***Please read trigger warnings list at the beginning of the book!
