BIANCA Vaughn promised safety from the monsters chasing us, but his protective obsession quickly becomes my prison. The longer we run, the more I realize I’m not just chased by monsters—I’m trapped with one. When he crosses a line, I run straight to his biggest enemy, Carter Willard. That's where I meet Ryder, the enigmatic tech genius with a gaze that pierces right through me. Trust is a luxury I can't afford. Ryder’s presence is a dangerous thrill I've avoided all my life, yet his touch strips away my defenses and ignites a fire deep within—a fire that tempts me to risk everything. But as Winter turns to Summer, secrets unravel, and the past returns, throwing us into chaos. RYDER Bianca was just a task. Another target to track... until she wasn't. I've watched her on screens for weeks, thinking I knew her before we ever met, but she's far from what I expected. Cold, calculated, independent—far from what I crave, yet irresistible. Our interactions are a clash of wills. Every defiant glance she sends my way, every argument, every glimpse behind her mask tests my limits until we cross a line. What’s supposed to be a one-night stand turns into many more. Feelings grow, masks drop, and just when I think I have it all, old threats emerge. I'm forced to confront a new reality: Bianca isn't just someone I need to protect; she's someone I refuse to lose. less
