He’s the man in the shadows, the keeper of her heart. The one with secrets that should stay buried. But the truth about lies? Nothing is ever what it seems…

Dove Barlowe is a wildlife photographer who finds peace in the mountains—alone, just the way she likes it. Until one fateful night, when a stranger stumbles into her favorite sacred spot. Enter Reid Samuels, all mystery, intensity, and undeniable chemistry. One stolen moment, a connection that burns—but before he can even learn her name, she’s gone.

Fast-forward a few months, and guess what? He’s back… as her mother’s fiancé. Yes, you read that right. And if you think that’s going to kill the tension, think again. That fire? Still raging. That pull? Unshakable. And Reid? Oh, he’s obsessed—so much so that he’ll do things that would definitely make you side-eye a man in real life. But in fiction? Deliciously addictive.

Oh, and don’t even get me started on the mystery woven into this plot. You think you’ve cracked it? Ha! Trust me, babe, you haven’t. The twist will leave you shocked. And Tom? Ugh. Certified creep. But when the truth finally unravels? Goosebumps.

This story is the perfect mix of tension, obsession, and mystery. If you love dark romance with stalkerish vibes, suspense, and a story that keeps you guessing till the very last page, this one’s for you.
