_She ran to survive, but ran into the hands of something darker_
After fleeing the ghost of a love that tried to destroy her, Alera thought she could disappear.
But fate - or something darker - puts her in Damien's path. He offers shelter when she's at her weakest, but safety in his world comes with rules she never agreed to.
In a house where every door could be a dead end and every glance feels like it sees too much, Alera learns Damien knows more than he should - about her , about that night.
Now, with her secrets no longer hers alone, Alera must decide which is more dangerous: the men hunting her outside... or the one who refuses to let her go.
