Amara Sinclair thought she led a quiet, unremarkable life in the rain-soaked town of Ashbourne. Between her late nights at the bookstore and her empty apartment, she was content to live unnoticed. But when a mysterious stranger appears on her nightly walk home, her world is plunged into darkness-one filled with secrets, shadows, and deadly whispers.

He calls himself Lucian-a man with eyes like midnight and a voice that drips with danger. He claims to know her, to be protecting her from something worse. When the shadows themselves come alive, Amara is forced to trust him, despite the growing suspicion that he is hiding as much as he reveals.

As the lines between protector and predator blur, Amara finds herself drawn into a world she never knew existed-a world of ancient rivalries, forbidden power, and an undeniable pull toward the man who is both her savior and her greatest threat.

In a love story laced with danger and obsession, Amara must decide whether to embrace the darkness-or be consumed by it.Tutti i diritti riservati

He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25

The Curse of Seven di beforesanityhits

"Listen carefully, Amara... Seven souls have fallen from grace. You will find one who is prideful and vain, one who has become sick with that which he craves, one whose desires will control his aims, one who resents that which he cannot attain, one who consumes more than which he's ordained, one who disregards love for rage, and one who does little for those in aid.
