IsabellaLockley
At just twenty years old, she carries the kind of scars most people never see-memories of a childhood steeped in chaos, toxicity, alcoholism, and abuse. Her teenage years were a blur of survival, bad choices, and desperate attempts to outrun a world that never gave her a chance. She grew up believing she would never be more than the broken girl life had shaped.
Until Killian Daegon.
Quiet. Possessive. Obsessively watchful. A shadow lurking at the edge of her world long before she ever noticed him. He is the kind of man who feels too much and says too little, a man whose darkness mirrors her own-but whose hidden tenderness threatens to unravel every defence she's built. Love, care, and a fierce intimacy simmer beneath his cold exterior, directed entirely at her.
What is it about this damaged, resilient girl that captures him so completely?
And why does she feel, for the first time in her life, that being seen-truly seen-might not be something to fear?
