Some shadows are meant to follow you... Lila lives in light. Her laughter fills rooms, her warmth draws people close, and she believes in the beauty of ordinary days-until a stranger with stormy eyes and a dangerous silence crosses her path. Cassian is a man of secrets, a brooding shadow in the corners of her world. He doesn't smile, he doesn't explain, and yet he makes her heart race in ways she can't name. Drawn together by a force neither can control, their connection is magnetic, consuming, and terrifying. Lila must navigate the line between desire and danger, between the life she knows and the darkness that threatens to claim her entirely. In a game of obsession, trust is fragile, and love... can be lethal.

This is my first story ever!! Where Ava thought her first relationship would last forever. But what seemed like love quickly turned into something darker.

Will she ever find the strength to break free, or will the ties of lust and obsession be too strong?

To the world he was a beast but for her he would do anything. He could have the world but all he wanted was her. They say the things we want most are the things we can't have. For she was so afraid of him that even the thought of him could have her running for the hills. Little did she know that she was the only one who didn't have to be afraid of him.
