About this book

When a woman who dreads being scared gets lost in a haunted house, she stumbles into the arms of a scare actor who becomes her own kind of obsession. Their chemistry is electric—filled with steamy encounters and banter that makes her feel truly seen—but he's hiding a shadowy side that would terrify her if she knew the truth. What unfolds is a darkly thrilling romance where the line between protector and predator blurs in the most unexpected ways. This is a deliciously twisted tale perfect for readers who love morally gray characters and the kind of tension that keeps you breathless.

Sultry dark romance with haunting tension and electric chemistry. Blend moody indie, sensual R&B, gothic pop, and industrial beats. Atmospheric yet intensely passionate—whispered vocals, pulsing rhythms, and that addictive feeling of danger wrapped in desire.
