Elara Hale thought inheriting a crumbling estate would mean starting over.
She didn’t expect to inherit its secrets. Or the man living within its walls.
Silas has been watching for years—silent, controlled, and dangerously devoted. He has rules. He has restraint. And from the moment Elara steps inside, he decides she is his to protect.

And the deeper Elara digs, the clearer the truth becomes… The shadows in the house are not her greatest threat. They are her safest place to hide.
