Lucy Baylor's life is spent in the shadows, fearlessly hunting Canada's most violent predators. She's committed to curing the world of evil and hopefully erasing the stain on her family name. There is no place for love in her life and even if there was, she's not convinced that she deserves it.

Sam Taylor decided long ago that he wasn't meant for love. He falls too hard, feels too much; temporary is easier and safer. That's what he tells himself anyway. 

When one of Sam's loved ones goes missing from his hometown, it leads him to uncover an evil the likes of which he has never seen. The need for temporary and safe fades as he works side by side with Lucy to defeat the shadows that threaten those he cares about most.

Ken is known for his fierce reputation, a boy whose commanding presence and hood style make him unforgettable at Lake View High. Life hasn't been easy for him, but he's fought his way through it all, learning to move on from heartbreak and the pain of the past. Strong, resilient, and a bit rough around the edges, Ken lives by his own rules-until a chance encounter introduces him to someone who breaks through his armor. Kamiya is quiet, thoughtful, and feels more at home in her books and rainy days than in the loud, chaotic world around her. She's a dreamer who seeks comfort in solitude, finding peace in things most people overlook. With her love of dark blue skies and the kind of mystery only found in the pages of novels, she's not the type to attract attention. But Ken sees her, and somehow, she sees him too. Together, they find themselves in a world where words matter more than appearances, and shared silence speaks louder than noise. As their paths intertwine, they'll discover that sometimes the strongest connections don't come from fireworks-they come from finding someone who understands your quiet. ---

Chloe has always believed that she can only rely on herself, especially when everyone else always leaves. Relationships mean letting someone in and she's not willing to open herself up to that kind of pain, not without some kind of proof that it will last.

He's silent, rude, uncompromising, and she's positive that he can't stand her...but Chloe also can't deny the way her heart races when he sets his steely gaze on her. Hawk learned early not to trust those who were supposed to care for him, finding solace and family among the brothers of the MC who saved him when he was a teen. Watching over Chloe is just supposed to be another way to repay that debt to the club, or so he keeps telling himself. But as the danger surrounding Chloe escalates and the lines blur between them, Hawk faces a choice between remaining guarded and alone, or letting Chloe in. In a world where trust is a rare commodity and danger lurks in every shadow, Chloe and Hawk must confront their deepest fears and decide if love is worth the risk.
