She captures the forgotten.
He never forgot her.
Estrella Rose Hart finds beauty in decay-abandoned cathedrals, crumbling train stations, forests that whisper with ghosts. Behind her lens, the world slows. Quiet. Controlled.
Until the day she photographs a broken-down church on the edge of nowhere... and spots someone in the frame who wasn't supposed to be there.
That's the moment Rowan Aleksander Cade sees her. And something inside him-something feral, obsessive, ancient-awakens.
A former intelligence officer turned elusive tech ghost, Rowan lives in shadows. He doesn't feel like normal men. He doesn't want like normal men. And from the moment he lays eyes on Estrella, he doesn't just want her-he worships her.
But devotion this dark doesn't come without consequences.
As Estrella is drawn deeper into Rowan's world of secrets, surveillance, and sacred obsession, she must decide if what haunts her is a threat...
Or the kind of reverence she's secretly craved all her life.
