The traditional roles of man and woman become twisted with Dan and Evelyn.
Dan isn't a playboy. He doesn't have any commitment issues. In fact, he wants it all-relationship and family. Only problem? He wants it with someone who doesn't want anything to do with him.
Evelyn doesn't fool around with relationships because she's never been in one. She's certain that things like love and happily-ever-afters aren't meant for people like her. There's simply too much darkness in her past.
A past she thinks she's buried.
But she's wrong.
After more than a decade, her nightmare returns to haunt her, forcing her to face up to memories she can't seem to shake.
Can she ever close the books on her past and let go of the horrors she went through? Can she ever learn to trust again?

𝓘𝓷𝓷𝓮𝓻 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷𝓼 - 𝓢𝔂𝓵𝓾𝓼
Lilith crosses paths with a man whose presence is impossible to ignore-broad-shouldered, quiet, and carrying an aura that unsettles everyone around him. To others, he's intimidating, someone to keep a careful distance from. But to her, the moment their eyes meet, something shifts. Her heart catches, and she feels an unexplainable pull toward him, as though fate itself had drawn their worlds together. She doesn't see the shadows he carries, the secrets buried deep within his silence. To her, he is mystery and allure, danger wrapped in beauty. What she doesn't yet know is that the man who just stole her breath is also the one hiding truths that could shatter her world. ------------------------------- Sylus was a man feared by many-an intimidating figure whose power and presence commanded every room he walked into. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, he built walls so high that no one dared to climb them. His life was one of control, where love had no place and vulnerability was a weakness he refused to show. But then she appeared. A young woman with a brightness that seemed to cut through his shadows, carrying warmth he didn't know he craved. Her laughter unsettled him, her kindness disarmed him, and her stubborn heart challenged the man who thought himself unchangeable. Where others saw only danger in him, she saw the pieces of someone worth saving. Against his instincts, he let her in. Slowly, she unraveled the darkness he carried, teaching him that love wasn't weakness-it was strength. And as she guided him onto a path he never thought he'd walk, he discovered that even the most powerful man can be humbled by the simplest truth: to be truly loved is to finally be free.Complete
