A slow-burn contemporary romance. * * * When a company health initiative forces Riley Markle to download a trendy mental health app, she fills out the onboarding survey without much thought, expecting to get paired with a virtual gym buddy who'll send thumbs-up emojis twice a week.

Riley resolves to complete her month of check-ins and be done with it - until a glitch in the app sends both her and Joe's embarrassing therapy videos to each other instead of their therapist.

This isn't a love story. It's survival. It's the story of two people who meet when everything's already falling apart. Norah Bishop is the girl who came back different - polished, popular, and carrying a secret that won't stop bleeding. She's mastered the art of pretending: perfect grades, perfect boyfriend, perfect smile. Anything to outrun the truth. Daniel Cohen has been quiet his whole life. Not because he has nothing to say, but because no one ever listened. Not when it mattered. He's not looking to be saved - just to make it through without falling apart. They're not supposed to matter to each other. But they do. In glances across classrooms. In conversations at 2 a.m. In the tiny moments no one else sees. But some pasts don't stay buried. Some pain doesn't play fair. And love - no matter how much it aches to stay - can't always fix what was never safe to begin with. But love doesn't save you. It stays with you.

Folk tales warn that the witch of Gnarl Mountain is a toothless hag with ice in her veins and a stone where her heart should be. But she's not. She's a young, inexperienced girl, victim of unspeakable crimes, yet determined to steal back a precious heirloom that will increase her magic. However, to do so she needs the aid of three people. One helps her for money, one out of obligation, and one for love.

What do you do when your blood makes you prey and your heart makes you a target?

She was wrong. Cold Creek is a town wrapped in forest and silence, where people watch her too closely, whisper the words human and bloodkin like judgment, and pretend not to hear the howls that tear through the night. Her father refuses to explain. Her grandparents make her skin crawl. And everyone seems to know something she doesn't. When Kelsey falls for the one person she was warned to stay away from, secrets buried deep in her family begin to surface, sharp, violent, and impossible to ignore. Some truths destroy everything you thought you were. Some monsters don't come from the woods. And loving the wrong one might be the most dangerous choice of all.
