You need the KDP product description - the longer summary that goes in the listing, not the back cover blurb. This is what readers see on the Amazon page before they click Look Inside.
Here is a full KDP product description for She Doesn't Run Book Two:
THE VITAL DARK - BOOK TWO
For five centuries, Nyra has operated alone. One direction. No return. She takes only what she needs, leaves nothing behind, and belongs nowhere.
Three weeks ago, that changed.
The crossing with Cael Mourne did what no one in the Endowment's eleven-year acquisition program has ever documented - it made the compound run correctly. Bidirectional. Bilateral. Proven. Now Cael receives fragments of her history in his sleep, archaeology arriving one channel at a time, and he writes every piece of it down in a notebook he hasn't shown her.
Nyra doesn't have a category for what it costs to be known from the inside.
The Endowment does. They call her a proven original - the only correct crossing in recorded history - and they have sixty years of patience and a new face: Lucian Vane, who has been watching from the edge of every room that mattered, carrying something of hers he was never supposed to have.
With surveillance tightening and Vane moving, Nyra is building something she has never built before: a network of people who know exactly what she is and choose to stand in the room anyway. A detective on his seventh legal pad. An archivist with thirty-one years of documentation. A woman who spent three years building a case without knowing why the signal felt wrong.
The city is moving. The compound is reading forward.
And Cael keeps writing in the notebook.
She Doesn't Run is the second book in The Vital Dark series - a dark, atmospheric paranormal romance with psychological thriller elements, a centuries-old assassin narrator, and a slow-burn connection that runs deeper than either of them planned for.
Content note: Adult content. Dark themes. Mature readers only.
