Scarlet in the Shadows by liv_in_words

"Don't look at me like that," Eli growled, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down my spine. I lifted my chin, a defiant glint in my eyes. "Like what?" He leaned in, his lips hovering just above my skin, each word a heated whisper. "Like you want something you can't have." My breath hitched. Callum's smile, usually so comforting, felt like a distant memory. Eli's gaze, dark and intense, held me captive. My heart pounded against my ribs, a frantic rhythm that echoed the turmoil in my mind. "Maybe I do," I murmured, the words a challenge, a dare. ~~~ Hunted by a stalker with a twisted obsession, Scarlet seeks refuge in Havenwood, a picture-perfect town cloaked in secrets and shadows. But safety proves elusive. She finds herself drawn to two men: Eli, a brooding recluse with a past shrouded in darkness, and Callum, whose easy charm and genuine warmth offered a stark contrast to Eli's intensity. As passion ignites and the town's sinister secrets unravel, Scarlet must choose: Will she succumb to Eli's raw intensity, find solace in Callum's steady embrace, or forge her own dangerous path in a place where temptation lurks behind every corner?
