My Silent Devotion

Eight years ago, he was a ghost in the hallway. Now, he's the only thing standing between her and the dark.
Nora's life is a collection of fragile things: a grieving heart, a crumbling apartment, and the persistent, bone-chilling sensation that someone is watching her from the shadows. She thinks she's losing her mind-until a man who looks more like a weapon than a human being steps out of the dark. He calls himself Blade, but Nora remembers him as Elias, the quiet boy who once picked up her notebook and saw the girl underneath the grief.
Blade hasn't just been "around." For a decade, he has operated in the world's bloodiest corners, honing his lethal skills for a singular purpose: to be the invisible shield around the only light he's ever known. But he isn't the only one watching. Deep within the walls of Nora's sanctuary, a different kind of monster is waiting-the Unknown, a voyeur whose obsession has curdled into a deadly need for ownership.
As the perimeter closes in, Nora must decide if she can trust the man who has spent eight years stalking her to keep her safe, or if the "protector" is just another shadow in a life defined by them. In a world where every floorboard creak is a threat and every look is a calculated move, the greatest danger might not be the monster in the vents, but the man who would burn the world down just to stay in her presence.(Put this on the back)
