The darkest days of Rowan Arlo’s life are far from over. They linger in the shadows, clawing into her thoughts, feeding a relentless hunger for retribution she can no longer ignore.
All Luca Stonewall wants is to keep Rowan safe. But duty pulls him away, and absence has a way of inviting danger.
The harder he tries to protect her, the deeper she drifts into the fire he swore to shield her from.
Their love is fractured—built on secrets, lies, and the unbearable weight of trauma; neither of them knows how to set down. Trust is fragile. Hearts are bruised.
And some wounds refuse to heal quietly; they scream.
As the past comes for its reckoning, Rowan and Luca must decide whether they’re strong enough to forge a new path together… or if they’re doomed to keep walking the same blood-stained road.
Because love was never meant to be easy. Sometimes it sears your heart. Sometimes it shatters your soul. And sometimes, it demands everything
The past was never buried. It waits patiently, whispering vengeance.
