The sea took everything she loved.
The manor gave her something she never asked for.
Haunted by grief, Mara Hollis returns to the house that raised her only to find she is not alone.
Someone leaves roses on her porch. Someone watches through the glass.
And one man, Zayden Cole, steps from the shadows with a promise:
"I can keep you safe."
But protection has a price.
And some obsessions feel too much like love.
> A gothic, modern dark romance where secrets breathe, hearts ache, and danger feels almost beautiful.
