The Weight of Her
L Brockwell
She built a life on quiet.
He was never meant to find her in it.
Evie has spent years keeping her world small—safe, controlled, and untouched by the past she never truly escaped. In a town like Willowridge, it’s easy to disappear. Easier still to pretend nothing is missing.
Until the forest starts to feel different.
Until she meets him.
Lucien is calm, deliberate, and impossible to read—a man who watches more than he speaks, and knows more than he should. Their connection is immediate, unsettling, and impossible to ignore. But every step closer to him reveals something just out of reach. Something he refuses to explain.
And something in Evie is beginning to change.
Drawn into a connection she can’t understand, Evie finds herself caught between instinct and reason—between the life she built and the pull of something darker, older, and far more dangerous than she realises.
Because Lucien isn’t the only one watching.
And when the truth comes, it doesn’t come gently.
