Fading Shadows

Emery Carter wasn't supposed to survive that night.

She left home hoping for a fresh start-new school, new city, new life. No one here knows the truth about the night that nearly ended it all. As far as everyone else is concerned, she's just another college girl trying to outrun her past. And she's fine keeping it that way.

Then there's Silas Maddox.

Arrogant. Infuriating. Completely off-limits.

He's her brother's roommate, which means he's already too close for comfort. But with his sharp smirks, reckless charm, and an attitude that dares her to push back, staying away from him is impossible. The more she fights it, the more he gets under her skin. And when cracks begin to show in his untouchable exterior, Emery realizes she might not be the only one with secrets.

Because Silas has demons too-ones that run deeper than she ever could have imagined. The son of a powerful man, raised in the shadow of a tragedy no one talks about. He's spent years making sure no one gets too close. Until her.

She swore she'd never let anyone in again.
He swore he wasn't capable of caring.

But the lines between them are blurring, and they're both about to break every rule they've ever known.

Will they heal each other-or will they be the final push that makes them fall apart?
