Beyond the glass

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But what happens when the eyes watching you are hidden in the dark?"
Demarii "Marii" Diamond lives her life in the spotlight and on the front lines. As a powerhouse singer and a fierce bodyguard, she's the one who calls the shots and keeps the peace. She's a masterpiece of Jamaican-Mexican fire, dedicated to her community and the kids who look up to her. But lately, the air feels heavy. The silence feels crowded.
Behind the glass of her dance studio, behind the windows of her home, and behind the tinted windshield of a black SUV, someone is lingering.
Kaito Moreno is a man of few words and even fewer mistakes. A mixed-race enigma wrapped in black ink and nonchalant mystery, he doesn't just admire Marii from afar-he lives for her. To him, the glass between them is the only thing keeping the world's filth from touching her. He's seen her kindness, her strength, and her beauty, and he's decided that a gem this rare shouldn't be left out in the open.
But Kaito isn't a hero. He's a shadow with a possessive streak that runs deeper than his tattoos. His love is a silent, golden cage, and his protection comes with a price: total obsession.
As the "gifts" become more personal and the sightings become more frequent, Marii finds herself drawn to the dark silhouette watching her from the periphery. She should be running, but something about his dangerous gaze feels like home.
In a world where everyone wants a piece of her, Kaito wants all of her. And he's ready to break every pane of glass-and every person in his way-to make sure she stays exactly where he wants her.
Locked away. Safe. Mine.
