Book One of the Thorne Series 💙🖤
The Shadows Have Eyes.
Aurora thought the chill running down her spine was just the winter air. She thought the shifting shadows in the corner of her room were just tricks of the light. She was wrong.
She isn't just being watched; she is being hunted.
Zane Thorne doesn't do love. Love is a weakness, a flickering candle in a world built of cold, hard steel. He deals in obsession-a dark, suffocating, all-consuming hunger that has zeroed in on a single target. To the world, he is a man of power and silence. To Aurora, he is the monster under the bed who decided he'd rather crawl in beside her.👀🌚
The Rules of the Hunt:
Observation: He knows her scent, her routine, and the exact rhythm of her heartbeat when she's afraid.👀
Possession: He doesn't want her heart; he wants her soul, her breath, and every inch of her skin. ✨✨
Protection: There is a singular, lethal promise etched into every shadow he inhabits: "Touch her and die."❤️
Zane isn't a hero coming to save her. He's the villain who's already destroyed any path of escape. He is addicted to her fear, obsessed with her beauty, and psychotic enough to burn the world down just to keep her trapped in his cage.
"I am the nightmare you never want to wake up from, Little Butterfly. And the best part? You're starting to love the dark."
