Sloane Jensen thought she could outrun her past. But in the dead of night, with bruises still fresh and fear clawing at her heart, she flees to a city where no one knows her name, hoping to disappear into the shadows. But even in the anonymity of the crowded streets, she can't escape the memory of the man she left behind-a man who promised she'd never truly be free. As Sloane tries to rebuild her life, she finds herself drawn to a man with secrets of his own. He's older, dangerously alluring, and as haunted by his past as she is by hers. Despite the walls they've both built, a dark and undeniable attraction pulls them together, threatening to unravel the fragile safety Sloane has tried to create. But as their worlds collide, Sloane must confront the terrifying truth: you can't outrun darkness. It follows you, whispers to you in the night, and if you're not careful, it consumes you whole. In this city, secrets are currency, and trust is a luxury no one can afford. Sloane is about to discover that the man she's fallen for might be even more dangerous than the one she left behind. And this time, there might be no way out. ---
