Darkness Surrounding

2002: Silas Nightwell never expected to run into Jimmy Sullivan again - not after the kind of past she scraped her way out of.

At twenty years old, trapped between a draining home life and a dangerous ex who refuses to let go, she's just trying to survive one day at a time in a dingy record shop.

Then Jimmy walks back in like a chaotic reminder of who she used to be...
and the rest of the guys aren't far behind.

Old connections spark.
New ones hit harder.
And Silas finds herself pulled back toward people who treat her like she's worth more than the scars she hides.

But her past hasn't moved on.
It's getting louder, closer, and ready to tear her down all over again.

A story about trauma, found family, slow-burn tension, and the kind of kissing that makes your chest ache before it fades to black.
