He killed my parents. He watched me for twelve years. Now, he's the only thing standing between me and the grave.
Ursula Gordon has spent her life hiding in the dust of the archives, invisible and safe. She thought she was alone. She was wrong.
For a decade, a ghost has been watching her. Aiken Simon-a hitman with a soul made of black ink and dead trees-has tracked her every breath, cataloged her every routine, and protected her from the shadows. He is the monster who slaughtered her family, yet he is the only one who spared her.
When a ruthless crime lord comes to collect a blood debt, Aiken doesn't just protect Ursula. He takes her.
Kidnapped, drugged, and whisked away to a snowbound cabin in the Cascades, Ursula wakes up in a cage built by a man who claims to love her. But Aiken's love isn't soft. It is a suffocating, possessive force that demands total surrender. He wants to strip away her fear and replace it with his own darkness.
Trapped by a blizzard and hunted by an army of mercenaries, Ursula must make a choice: cling to the morality of a world that forgot her, or let the monster in.
Because the truth is colder than the snow outside: Aiken didn't just save her to keep her safe. He saved her to keep her his.
I am the villain of your story, Little Bear. But I am the only one who will burn the world down to keep you warm.
This is a Dark Stalker Romance. It contains mature themes, graphic violence, captivity, and a morally black hero who crosses every line. Reader discretion is advised.
