🖤 Silken Shadows by Nerina Elyra Four years apart should have been enough. Enough time to forget the taste of danger- enough distance to dull the pull of a name that still burns on her tongue.

It drags them both back under- into a web of power, devotion, and the kind of love that ruins quietly before it saves. She's fire wrapped in silk. She's shadow dressed like salvation. And Ace has never been good at choosing between the two. Silken Shadows - a slow-burn dark romance where loyalty seduces, danger tempts, and desire never plays fair.
