BREATHLESS
The Silver Stalk Saga: Book One
"I didn't ask to be saved, Little Rabbit. But since you pulled me from the gates of hell, you've earned the right to stay there with me."
Lowen Aris is no ordinary nurse; she's a "Savage" who possesses the uncanny ability to mend the shattered lives of others by day while relentlessly grappling with her own inner demons under the cloak of night. In the ER, she has faced her fair share of grotesque horrors, but nothing could have prepared her for the night she pulled a dying man from the jagged remains of a matte-black wreck, with flames licking at the edges of fate.
Roman Night is the embodiment of primal power-a predator whose heart beats with cold mercilessness, concealed behind a façade of glassy composure and lethal intent. He was destined to perish upon that asphalt, yet fate intervened; in a twist so profound, he discovered not just a will to survive but the singular, exquisite treasure worth possessing-Lowen.
Now, she is drawn into a web far more intricate than mere healing. Roman has fixated on Lowen, and his obsession goes beyond gratitude-he hungers for her very soul. His goal is clear: he will strip away the layers of her white coat and the bravado she uses as armor until only the darkness remains. The darkness that flickers in her eyes each time their paths cross, a reflection of the very abyss he knows all too well.
With diamond-studded tracking leashes and adrenaline-fueled chases threading through the city's underbelly, Roman will unleash hell if that's what it takes to ensure she never escapes his grasp. He will shatter her defenses, ensnare her heart, and awaken her to the harrowing truth: the only thing more treacherous than a man who desires your destruction is the one who has chosen you as the reason to cling to life.
Step into the thickening fog, where shadows dance and danger lurks. The hunt has already begun, and it will not end until one of them reigns victorious.
