Six years ago, Evelyn Mercer made the hardest decision of her life, giving up her newborn daughter after being abandoned by the baby’s father and left with nothing but fear and heartbreak. She told herself it was the only way to give her baby a better life.
Now, six years later, Eve is a quiet first-grade teacher trying to outrun the ghosts of her past… until one little girl with sad brown eyes and bruised trust walks into her classroom and changes everything.
Lucy. The child Eve never stopped loving.
As Eve uncovers the horrifying truth that Lucy was never adopted but hidden away with abusive relatives by the very man who abandoned them both, her world begins to unravel. Determined to save her daughter, Eve finds an unexpected ally in Detective Roman Vale, a dangerously possessive, fiercely protective man with scars of his own and a darkness that matches her deepest fears.
Roman wasn’t looking for love. But the moment he sees Eve fighting for her child, something inside him locks into place. She becomes his to protect. Lucy becomes his to defend. And when Eve’s violent ex returns obsessed, jealous, and determined to reclaim what he believes belongs to him, Roman is willing to cross every line to keep them safe.
As obsession turns deadly and the past refuses to stay buried, Eve must decide if she can trust the terrifying intensity of the man who would burn the world down for her… or risk losing everything all over again.
Possessive. Ominous. Heart-shattering and fiercely protective, this dark romantic suspense is filled with obsession, danger, emotional healing, and a love powerful enough to turn strangers into a family.
