The storm has passed, but the shadows still hunt her.

Arden Rivers is healing. She’s rebuilding a life she can claim as her own, learning to love—and to be loved—without losing herself. But one night shatters that fragile peace. A stranger steps out of the dark, armed with secrets from her past and devotion sharp enough to cut. Roses, letters, and whispered threats remind her: survival was never enough.

Each gift is a warning. Each step forward pulls her deeper into a game of obsession and betrayal.

Gideon Blackwell would burn the world to keep her safe, but Arden refuses to surrender this fight. Together they’ll face enemies in the shadows, family legacies twisted by power, and ghosts that refuse to stay buried.

Because healing isn’t a straight line, and love isn’t real unless it stands in the fire with you.

In this shattering conclusion to The Storm and Shadow Duology, passion and peril entwine, loyalty is tested, and beauty rises from darkness like a lotus breaking the surface.
