Ari
I thought I wanted stability—security—someone safe. For two years, I convinced myself Asher—my polished, predictable, perfect boyfriend—was enough.
Until the letters started. Cryptic. Obsessive. Meant only for me.
Then, I meet Asher’s twin. Maddox Cross. A name no one speaks. A convicted felon.
Asher warns me to stay away, but Maddox peels me open, piece by piece, like he already knows my secrets.
And when the truth comes out, I won’t have to choose between two brothers.
Because one of them will never let me go.
Maddox
Twenty years in a cage does things to a man. Gives him time. Time to think. Time to remember. Time to obsess.
Asher never deserved Ari. I knew it the second I found out about her.
She doesn’t belong in his perfect world. She belongs in mine—where good girls get ruined, and bad men don’t let go.
Now, I’m here. In her dreams. In her room. In the dark—touching, tasting, waiting.
She was never running. Just waiting for me to catch her.
And now that I have?
She’ll say my name in the dark, shattered and breathless—until she knows she was never meant to belong to anyone else.
