In the quiet confines of a small-town library, Anastasia has crafted a life of solitude, finding comfort and safety among the pages of her beloved books. As the head librarian, she treasures the stillness, the predictability, and the sanctuary the library offers from the chaos of the outside world. But when a mysterious and alluring woman named Stacy arrives, Anastasia's carefully curated life begins to unravel.
Stacy is unlike anyone Anastasia has ever met-dark, enigmatic, and irresistibly magnetic. She awakens something deep within Anastasia, a hidden desire that the librarian has long buried beneath the dusty pages of her favorite novels. As their connection deepens, Anastasia is drawn into Stacy's world, a place where shadows conceal secrets and darkness holds power.
But as Stacy pulls Anastasia further from the light, the librarian must confront a terrifying truth: the darkness that she has long feared is not just inside Stacy-it's inside herself.
Torn between the safety of her old life and the seductive pull of the unknown, Anastasia must decide how far she's willing to go to discover who she truly is.
Beneath the Pages is a haunting tale of passion, obsession, and the fine line between desire and destruction. For readers who enjoy dark romance and stories where the lines between right and wrong blur, this book will linger in your thoughts long after the final page is turned.
