I’m the monster she was warned about. The beast in the dark. The nightmare she can’t escape. I’ve watched her from the shadows, a silent sentinel drawn to her light. She doesn’t know the danger that stalks her, but I do. I’ll be her shield, her protector, even if she fears the very sight of me. She thinks I’m her kidnapper, her captor. She doesn’t understand that I’m the only thing standing between her and a fate worse than death. I took her to save her. I keep her to cherish her. My little stranger is the key to a past I can’t remember and a future I never dreamed possible. In this twisted game of power and deceit, I will burn the world to the ground to keep her safe. But can she ever love the monster who holds her heart captive? *Little Stranger is a full-length dark gothic romance novel with morally gray characters and themes that may be sensitive for some readers.*
