Come Closer

Book 1: Come Over
Book 2: Come Closer

Five years have passed since Juliana "Jules" Allen survived the night that almost took her life-and she's been running ever since. Running from the memories that won't loosen their grip, from the guilt that settles in her bones, and from the cold truth she's learned to live by: people don't stay.

Now she keeps her world small and controlled-hands busy, mind quieter-rebuilding her auto shop one day at a time and convincing herself that solitude is safer than hope. But when an unexpected connection sparks with Nicolette O'Harre-a wealthy, sheltered girl with her own bruises beneath the polish-Jules is forced to confront something more terrifying than her past: being seen.

Because the past isn't just inside her head anymore.

An unfamiliar presence begins to appear in the quiet gaps of her days-never close enough to name, never obvious enough to prove. A figure at the edge of a parking lot. A car idling one beat too long. The uncomfortable feeling of recognition without the comfort of certainty... like something from her worst night survived when it shouldn't have.

As Jules tries to navigate a love she never planned for, the shadow tightens around her life with patient intention, turning coincidence into pattern and memory into warning. With her future opening for the first time in years and her past closing in, Jules must decide if she'll let herself reach for something real...

or if she'll spiral back into the depths she fought so hard to crawl out of.
