The reformed criminal

Grace Everett is running from a past that refuses to let her go. After narrowly escaping a dangerous life of crime, she relocates to a small, quiet town, hoping to finally find peace. But no matter how far she runs, the shadows of her former world follow her.

When Ethan Hunter, a reformed criminal with a notorious past, walks into the bar where Grace seeks refuge, their worlds collide. Once known for his ruthlessness and cunning, Ethan is trying to leave behind the man he used to be, but some scars are too deep to erase. As he works to distance himself from his criminal history, his unresolved demons begin to catch up with him-and so does Grace.

Drawn together by a shared, haunted past, the two are caught in a dangerous dance between redemption and temptation. As they fight their undeniable attraction, they must face the dark secrets that threaten to pull them back into the very world they fought so hard to escape. With their emotions tangled in trust, guilt, and longing, they must confront the question: can love truly heal the wounds of the past, or will it drag them both into darkness once more?

The Reformed Criminal is a tense, slow-burn romance about redemption, second chances, and the struggle to escape the ghosts that haunt us.
