A fully standalone age gap, stalker romance from USA Today bestselling author Jane Henry
Ashland
I've been watching her for six years.
Bianca White is sunshine and innocence,
And I'm the monster they whisper about when the lights are off.
And she hates me, for good reason.
I told myself I'd stay away. That I'd keep my distance and just make sure she was safe. But the night of her college graduation, she's about to make a terrible mistake…
So I take her.
I don't ask. I don't explain. I just cage my little bird in the woods where no one can touch her.
She fights me. Hates me. Begs to go back to the man who will kill her.
She'll learn that some cages are gilded for a reason, and that anyone who wants to get to her will come through me first.
She was always mine. She just didn't know it yet.
A dark Irish mafia romance featuring an obsessed enforcer, his captive sunshine, and the brutal lengths he'll go to keep her. Morally gray doesn't begin to cover it. Contains kidnapping, stalking, forced proximity, and a possessive antihero who's been celibate for six years waiting for HER.
