The Kane Effect

She's a shy seamstress who spends her days sewing for clients and keeping her life small, steady, and safe.

Until she starts noticing things that don't belong-messages she didn't send, someone appearing too often near places she goes, a presence that feels like it's learning her routine.

Zaria tries to dismiss it at first. People like her don't assume danger easily.

But Nasir Kane does.

He doesn't call it coincidence. He calls it pattern recognition.

And once he starts paying attention, he doesn't stop.

Now she's not just dealing with a quiet fear she can't fully explain...

She's being watched.

And the one man who seems completely in control of every situation around her is the only one who makes her feel safe enough to stay close to.

Even when she shouldn't.
