Some of us were born in darkness. Others were made.

They broke me, rebuilt me, and gave me a name.

Cleaner. Son. Monster.

They said she was gone-a ghost in my head.

But I see her-in flashes of red hair and memories that never fade.

Now she's real again. Flesh and fear. Fire and fate.

She runs.

I follow.

She looks back-and the past catches up.

Because after everything they took from us, I'm done letting her disappear.

You don't have to love me, little ghost.

Lock the door. Run.

But when the darkness calls, you'll remember who's waiting inside it.

Behind the Shadows is a standalone pitch-black dark stalker romance and psychological romantic thriller of obsession, betrayal, and deadly secrets. Perfect for readers who crave morally gray antiheroes, forbidden love, and a heroine fighting to reclaim her life. No cheating, no third-act breakup, and includes an HEA.
