"Bound by Shadows"
Selene Arden never expected her job as a secretary at Blackwood Enterprises to be anything but ordinary. But everything shifts the day Nero, her boss's young son, runs into the office and calls her "Mommy." His father, the cold and distant Davin Blackwood, quickly shuts him down-but the moment leaves a crack in the perfect, controlled image he hides behind. As Selene gets drawn deeper into the lives of the Blackwoods, she begins to sense that something far darker lingers in the shadows-memories of a tragic loss, unanswered questions, and a presence that refuses to be forgotten. Now, she's not just working for Davin; she's unraveling the chilling secrets that could bind her to the Blackwoods forever.
