ABOUT THE BOOK
Her past was meant to be forgotten.
But some things cannot stay concealed.
When Elise Hathaway returned to her childhood home in a quiet coastal town, she never imagined hidden secrets decades old would come hunting her. A vault that should never be opened. And a truth buried out of fear and the power it could unleash.
Gabriel Thorne was trained to be a ghost—a man who protects from the shadows and leaves nothing behind. Lethal, disciplined, and detached, he is sent to watch Elise without realising she is already bound to him. Bound by something older than the mission. Darker than the threat. And far more dangerous than either of them understand. Because when the darkness reaches for her… he is the only one standing in its way.
When the force hidden beneath the house is taken, it awakens—and Elise is drawn into a void that does not belong to this world. A place that consumes her, drains her, and refuses to let her go. But it isn’t only the darkness reaching for her. Someone else is hunting her too. The deeper she falls, the harder it is to come back, and the more Gabriel is forced to fight not just for her life… but for her soul.
Across safehouses, forests, and the wild Highlands of Scotland, they run. Trapped together by danger, bound by something neither of them can explain, their connection ignites into something fierce, consuming, and impossible to resist. Because the closer the darkness pulls her, the harder he holds on. He is her anchor.
Some secrets should stay hidden.
Some loves refuse to die.
And some vows are written in the dark and whispered through gunfire:
You’re mine to protect. Until the end.
What Readers Are Saying
★★★★★
“From the first page I was hooked. Elise and Gabriel’s chemistry is intense and addictive, with twists that kept me reading way past bedtime. The suspense, the passion, and that haunting Scottish Highlands vibe pulled me in completely. Emotional, thrilling, and unforgettable, Bella Rose nailed it.”
~Amazon Reviewer
★★★★★
“This book is a page-turner that explores themes of strength, true power, family, and the bonds formed with genuine allies. Gabriel is a perfect example of the positive aspects of masculinity: bridled power, protectiveness, and the ability to be still and patient in the face of crisis. The villains are truly evil, characterized by power-madness, possessiveness, obsession, and narcissism. A steamy romance with a swoon-worthy couple, it is also a statement on power and the men and women who wield it. There are many contrasts: stillness versus coiled energy, light versus dark, control versus patience. A grand adventure with fantastical elements set in the Scottish Highlands, I recommend this book to romance and action lovers alike.”
