He broke her once. Now he's the only one who can save her.
But some wounds don't fade-and some kisses burn too deep to survive.
Five years ago, Lilith Ainsley gave her heart to a man who vanished without a word.
Now he's back. As her bodyguard.
Cold. Commanding. Infuriating.
And when danger strikes at a party full of secrets, he's the one who pulls her into the shadows, pins her to a wall-and kisses her like she still belongs to him.
But Lilith isn't that girl anymore.
She's stronger. Smarter. And if Nick Beaufort wants her trust again, he'll have to give her more than protection.
He'll have to give her the truth.

Ghost Thorns (Ghost Perfume, Book 3)
The Alistairs admitted the truth. Their fifth is Rose, both silver and gold-called, though her existence must remain a secret from those who'd imprison her or condemn the Alistairs for their change of heart. With Rose operating from the shadows, they fight for both sides: to free the priests and protect the living and the dead from the hunger of the worms. *** (Excerpt, Alexander's POV) *** Rose laughed. "She wasn't cruel, just bossy. She kept telling me to find privacy and not to tell anyone that she was contacting me." "Why?" Gabriel asked. "She didn't say. Please don't ever tell her I told you." "The priests make secrecy their policy in everything," I said. "What would you have done if I wasn't here?" Would you have kept her a secret from us, Rose? Her warm fingers ran over the nape of my neck. "I'd have been even more upset that you weren't here." Too cute. She was going to be the death of me. Eyes that begged me to come closer while she put her hand on my chest, warning me off. Climbing on top of me, but keeping the blanket between us. And for the first time in my life I wanted something bad enough that I was afraid to push for it. "Don't worry that we'll step between you and Beatrice," I said. "Build trust with her however you see fit." She gave me a sweet smile. When was Gabriel going to get off the damn call? I'd had Rose to myself for all of two seconds before the world interrupted. "Tell her sometime that you hate us," Gabriel suggested. "If you want to build trust with her." Rose promptly frowned. "I'd rather not." "One day, spit on Gabriel in her presence," I piled on. "She'll kiss your cheek." "Did she always hate you like this? Why?" "Some feelings don't have a good cause. Nothing but one tribe against another," Gabriel said.
𝓘𝓷𝓷𝓮𝓻 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷𝓼 - 𝓢𝔂𝓵𝓾𝓼
Lilith crosses paths with a man whose presence is impossible to ignore-broad-shouldered, quiet, and carrying an aura that unsettles everyone around him. To others, he's intimidating, someone to keep a careful distance from. But to her, the moment their eyes meet, something shifts. Her heart catches, and she feels an unexplainable pull toward him, as though fate itself had drawn their worlds together. She doesn't see the shadows he carries, the secrets buried deep within his silence. To her, he is mystery and allure, danger wrapped in beauty. What she doesn't yet know is that the man who just stole her breath is also the one hiding truths that could shatter her world. ------------------------------- Sylus was a man feared by many-an intimidating figure whose power and presence commanded every room he walked into. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, he built walls so high that no one dared to climb them. His life was one of control, where love had no place and vulnerability was a weakness he refused to show. But then she appeared. A young woman with a brightness that seemed to cut through his shadows, carrying warmth he didn't know he craved. Her laughter unsettled him, her kindness disarmed him, and her stubborn heart challenged the man who thought himself unchangeable. Where others saw only danger in him, she saw the pieces of someone worth saving. Against his instincts, he let her in. Slowly, she unraveled the darkness he carried, teaching him that love wasn't weakness-it was strength. And as she guided him onto a path he never thought he'd walk, he discovered that even the most powerful man can be humbled by the simplest truth: to be truly loved is to finally be free.Complete
