I don’t belong here. Not in this house. Not in this family. And definitely not with him.When my father died, I lost everything—my home, my safety, my place in this world. Now I’ve been forced into the Woods Estate, a mansion dripping with money, haunting shadows, and secrets I was never meant to see. My mother makes it painfully clear I’m not wanted here. To her, I’m nothing more than an obligation to manage.But the real danger isn’t her.It’s him. Roman Woods, my stepbrother.He’s as cruel as he is magnetic, carved from violence and a past I don’t understand. He tells me to survive this place I have to keep my head down and follow the rules. But despite his intimidating presence, he’s also the only one who looks at me like I matter…But whether he wants me to thrive or shatter, is unclear.Regardless, every choice I seem to make ties me tighter to him, and the closer we get, the more I crave him.I don’t know if he’ll destroy me… or save me.Or we’ll both be lost to the dark.
