I ruined his life. Now he’s the only one who can save mine.

I stopped living the night my world went dark. What’s left of me is a shadow fueled by a single purpose: vengeance.

I’ve spent six years living for the dead, honoring the friends I lost in a sorority house massacre while waiting to face the man who took everything from me. I was prepared for the truth. I thought I knew how the story ended. But I was wrong about which monster was hunting me.

A sudden blizzard, and a twist of fate, has driven me off the road and straight into the arms of the man I wrongly sent to prison.

Valen Creed.

To the world, he’s a cold-blooded killer. To me, he was a nightmare I created. Now, I’m stranded in his isolated cabin while the snow buries my car and my only chance at escape. He’s scarred, hardened, and has every reason to break me. He spent years behind bars for a crime I swore I witnessed... a crime I was dead wrong about.

Outside, the real killer is still stalking through the whiteout, finishing what he started six years ago. But inside these cabin walls, the tension is more volatile than the storm. Valen doesn't just want an apology. He wants a reckoning. And as the lines between my enemy and my protector begin to blur, I realize the only thing more terrifying than the shadow hunting me is the man who just saved my life.

In this cabin, the past never stays buried. It always finds a way to leave a mark.

Lilac and Bone contains dark themes and intense moments, but it is not extreme or a pitch-black dark romance. If you typically enjoy romance that is dark, obsessive, and emotionally charged, you’ll be comfortable here. This book is not recommended if you prefer light or cozy romance, or are uncomfortable with violence, obsession, or trauma-centered narratives.
