Summary
Two months after the whole of New York City was swallowed in darkness, you are still learning how to live as a team. No longer just a weapon in the dark, you’re surrounded—for the first time in your life—by people who care. Who see you. Who refuse to leave, no matter how many walls you put up.
But trust doesn’t come easy. Every mission, every meeting with Valentina threatens to pull you back into the cage you fought so hard to escape. And despite the calm Bob brings just by being near, the weight of your growing feelings for him only adds to the confusion. He’s kind. Steady. Bright. You don’t know how to want something that good without bringing ruin.
This is a story of learning to breathe without looking over your shoulder. Of panic attacks, bruised knuckles, and late-night comforts. Of nightmares eased by warm hands. Of found family and learning what it means to be safe—and starting to believe they might mean it.
What does it mean to love and be loved when inside you have a monster lurking to be set free?
This is the second story to my Silhouette series. If you haven’t read that I highly recommend reading that first.
