She's been running for years. From grief. From guilt. From the day her sister was taken and her world shattered.

Svetlana learned the hard way that standing still means losing everything. So, she keeps moving. Keeps pretending. Keeps burying the pieces of herself she can't fix.

Until Brandon.

He doesn't look at her like she's fragile.

He looks at her like she's fire.

Brandon isn't a man who chases gently, and he doesn't scare easily. He's dominant. Intense. Unapologetic.

But wanting him means risking something she swore she'd never risk again.

Hope.

Brandon knows what it means to live with regret. He's made choices he can't undo, built walls he thought would never crack.

He wants to protect her. Claim her. Stand between her and the ghosts that haunt her.

But her past isn't finished with her. And loving her may mean stepping into a fight neither of them is prepared to win.

The first book in a gripping trilogy about obsession, redemption, and two damaged souls colliding when neither of them is ready to stop running.
