He was everything I didn't know I needed -
and everything I should have stayed away from.
When Mia Thorpe leaves her quiet hometown for London, she's craving freedom, independence, and a fresh start. What she doesn't expect is Grayson Cooper-a dangerously charming nightclub manager with secrets buried deep beneath his perfect smile.
The attraction is instant. The chemistry? Undeniable.
But Grayson's world is built on shadows: late nights, unspoken dangers, and a past that refuses to stay buried. And by falling for him, Mia is pulled into a game where love might not be strong enough to survive the lies, the darkness... or the people who want to tear them apart.
He promised her the stars-
But some stars burn out in the dark.
Book one in the heart-racing, twist-filled Shadows and Stars series.
