A detective who can’t walk away.
A truth dark enough to kill for.
Jade has spent five lost years trying to outrun a nightmare she can’t remember. She knows only three things:
Her father sold her when she was fourteen.
She escaped into the night with a bullet grazing her skull.
And the monsters she fled are still out there.
Now the memories she buried are clawing their way back—shards of fear, whispers in the dark, flashes of the girl she used to be. Nightmares stalk her days, and she’s terrified she's losing her mind. But one thing is clear: whatever she was running from is hunting her again.
Crew, a former soldier turned private investigator, has heard every kind of horror story—but nothing like Jade’s. Haunted eyes. No past. No money. And danger wrapped around her like barbed wire.
He should turn her away.
Instead, he steps into her darkness.
As Crew digs deeper, he uncovers secrets powerful enough to destroy them both. Someone wants Jade silenced. Someone who already tried once. And the closer they get to the truth, the deadlier the hunt becomes.
She wants answers.
He wants to protect her.
But the past she can’t remember may be the one thing that gets them both killed.
Perfect for readers who love amnesia romance, protective heroes, dark family secrets, and relentless romantic suspense.
