Beautiful things don't bleed quietly. Eden Blake I haven't felt safe since the night you stole her from me-the night you murdered my mother and turned my life into a ghost story. For ten years, I've lived under a new name, a new identity, a new lie. But on my 19th birthday, it all unraveled. The one person who protected me-who knew the truth-is gone. And with her silence, the past finally found me. Then I met Luca Hayes. A beautiful, broken boy who saw the storm in my eyes and didn't run. He tried to help me piece myself back together, but I let the darkness in again. I let my past destroy the only person who made me feel whole. But I'm not running anymore. I'm not the scared little girl you remember. I know you're hunting me, Father. But you didn't expect me to be ready. And I didn't expect Luca to come looking for me. Luca Hayes Eden Blake showed up in my life like a spark in a gasoline fire-brilliant, wild, and dangerous. She's the kind of girl who makes the world tilt, who makes silence feel full of meaning. But the closer I got, the more I realized she was hiding something bigger than I could've imagined. Something deadly. Then she disappeared. No message. No sign. Just an empty room and the echo of her name in my head. I know she's running from something dark. I know it wants her back. And I know I'm going to find her-because I was put in her life for a reason. This time, I'm not letting her go. Not without a fight.
