    Summary

    Years ago—back when her world had been hospital hallways and fluorescent lights—she’d learned how fear worked.

    It wasn’t the screaming kind people imagined. It was quieter than that. It slipped in under the skin, slowed time, turned the body inward on itself. She’d seen it in patients who froze when blood hit the floor, in parents whose hands shook too hard to hold onto their children, in interns who went pale and empty the moment something went wrong.

    Fear locked joints. Stole fine motor control. Made people small.

    Adrenaline was different. Adrenaline sharpened. It narrowed the world into something manageable, stripped it down to essentials. Breathing. Pressure. Warmth. Stay alive.

    Summary

    To survive, she learned how to become invisible. To live, Simon Riley had to become a monster.

    When their worlds collide, he doesn’t rescue her—he consumes her. Simon offers shelter forged from iron and obsession, an all-encompassing presence that drowns out the rest of the world. As the walls of his “protection” close in, she is forced to confront a harrowing realization: some prisons don’t just feel like safety. They feel like love.
