Dark Desire

On stormy nights in the city, Iris finds comfort in old movies, cookies and cream ice cream, and the quiet solitude of her apartment. With her rich brown skin and wild, curly hair, she moves through life like a shadow-haunted by memories and longing for something real. Love, for Iris, has always been bittersweet: a promise that slips away with the rain.

But everything changes when Killian crashes into her world. He's magnetic and dangerous, with icy blue eyes, tattoos tracing stories across his pale skin, and a past as mysterious as his smile. Their connection is instant, electric-and impossible to ignore.

One night, as thunder rattles the windows, Killian leans closer, his voice low and rough.
"Why do you always look at storms like they're about to swallow you whole?"
Iris meets his gaze, heart pounding. "Because sometimes I wish they would."

In the darkness, they find solace and temptation, but also the risk of heartbreak. Iris must decide if she can trust Killian with the truth she's hidden for so long-or if love, once again, will leave her alone in the storm.

Atmospheric and haunting, this dark romance explores the collision of two souls from different worlds, the ache of loneliness, and the fragile hope that endures even on the darkest nights. For fans of passionate, character-driven stories, Iris and Killian's journey will linger long after the final page
