She woke up stolen. She never expected to fall in love with the thief. Harper's world ended the night she went for a run to clear her head-and never made it home. One moment, she was catching her breath on the side of the road. The next, she was trapped in the trunk of a stranger's car, the echo of her screams swallowed by the dark. When she wakes up in a strange room on an unfamiliar bed, her heart pounds with fear, confusion, and disbelief. She doesn't know where she is. She doesn't know why. And most terrifying of all-she doesn't know what's going to happen next. Then she meets Matthew. Quiet. Reserved. Dangerous. He's the man who kidnapped her-but he isn't like the monsters she imagined. There's a sadness in his eyes, a hesitation in his voice, a flicker of regret that shouldn't exist. Harper hates him. She should. But as days turn into weeks, hatred gives way to something more complicated... something warmer... something real. She learns there's more to her abduction than she realized. Matthew was following orders. There's someone above him-someone worse. And when Matthew turns against the people who gave those orders, Harper makes a choice that will change both their lives: she helps him run. Now they're both fugitives in a deadly game they never wanted to play. Bound together by pain and choice, Harper and Matthew are desperate for freedom. For redemption. For love. But love born in darkness doesn't always survive the light. And some stories aren't meant to have happy endings. Haunting, twisted, and heartbreakingly beautiful, Harper is a gripping novel about trauma, trust, forbidden love, and the impossible choices we make to feel human again. With a shattering final chapter you won't forget, this is a story that will stay with you long after the last page is turned.
