About this book

Amber walks onto campus as a broken orphan desperate for a fresh start, only to collide with two irresistible men who turn her shadowy world upside down. Smooth-talking Brock and tattooed bad boy Ryder are nothing alike, yet she finds herself dangerously addicted to them both—and somehow, impossibly, they both want her too. But when a devastating event shatters everything she's built with them, Amber must face whether love can survive the wreckage, or if some breaks are too deep to heal. This is raw, intense, and utterly unputdownable—the kind of story that will have you emotionally invested in every heartbreaking moment.

Spotify
intoxicatingturbulentobsessivesensualshattered

Moody dark romance with intense chemistry and dangerous attraction. Mix sultry R&B and alternative pop with gothic undertones—think The Weeknd, Halsey, and Cigarettes After Sex. Sensual yet turbulent, capturing obsession, heartbreak, and the electric pull of forbidden love wrapped in shadows.
