Love Me in the Dark is a dark romance about trauma, survival, and the weight of buried secrets.
Zaria Vale grew up in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, where her abusive home life and a devastating night changed everything. She carries a secret connected to her father's death and was separated from her mother during the storm, leaving her to believe she didn't survive, though she is still listed as missing.
Years later, Zaria is just trying to survive when she meets Malachi Reed, a quiet, emotionally guarded man who is hard to read but impossible to ignore. Their connection begins in a tense nightclub encounter and slowly turns into something deeper, more complicated, and dangerous for them both.
As their lives start to intertwine, old wounds resurface, forcing them to confront things they thought were long buried. In a world built on silence and unanswered questions, their connection pulls them closer to truths neither of them is ready for.
