Safe

Beautiful things don't bleed quietly.

Eden Blake

I haven't felt safe since the night you stole her from me-the night you murdered my mother and turned my life into a ghost story.

For ten years, I've lived under a new name, a new identity, a new lie.
But on my 19th birthday, it all unraveled.

The one person who protected me-who knew the truth-is gone. And with her silence, the past finally found me.

Then I met Luca Hayes.
A beautiful, broken boy who saw the storm in my eyes and didn't run.
He tried to help me piece myself back together, but I let the darkness in again.
I let my past destroy the only person who made me feel whole.

But I'm not running anymore.
I'm not the scared little girl you remember.
I know you're hunting me, Father.
But you didn't expect me to be ready.

And I didn't expect Luca to come looking for me.

Luca Hayes

Eden Blake showed up in my life like a spark in a gasoline fire-brilliant, wild, and dangerous.

She's the kind of girl who makes the world tilt, who makes silence feel full of meaning.

But the closer I got, the more I realized she was hiding something bigger than I could've imagined.
Something deadly.

Then she disappeared.
No message. No sign. Just an empty room and the echo of her name in my head.

I know she's running from something dark.
I know it wants her back.

And I know I'm going to find her-because I was put in her life for a reason.

This time, I'm not letting her go.
Not without a fight.
