"She was supposed to stay away. He was never going to let her."
In the forgotten town of Ash Vale, seventeen-year-old Elira Vale is quiet, strange, and easy to overlook. But there's something about her something soft and haunted that draws the wrong kind of attention.
Especially his.
Riven Moratti is twenty-one, dangerous, and built of shadows. No one knows what he wants. But from the moment he sees Elira, he watches. Follows. Claims her in ways no one else can see. He keeps his need for her locked behind a calm, cold mask until they're alone, in dark places where no one is supposed to go.
There, he shows her what obsession looks like
And then there's Kael Vasiliev, Riven's closest friend, just as dangerous, but colder, quieter. He doesn't look at Elira twice. But when he sees Céleste Mirelle, Elira's soft-spoken best friend, something inside him fractures. He knew her once. He watched her. And he promised himself he would never go near her again.
But she's here now. And Kael's control is slipping.
In a world of secrets, shadows, and forbidden longing, four lives begin to unravel.
Because some desires were never meant to be seen in the light.
