Claimed in Silence: a Dark, Stalker Romance

Lara thought she’d found peace when she walked away from everything three weeks ago—her cheating ex, her best friend, and the shattered remnants of her heart. In the quiet town of Darklane, surrounded by the endless woods, she finally found the solitude she craved, free from the painful reminders of betrayal.No one knows where she is.No one comes to visit.And Lara never has to face her past.But one night, everything changes.At midnight, someone knocks on her door.Once.Twice.Then, the sound becomes a haunting, relentless rhythm that pulls her from the safety she built.She doesn’t know him.She’s never seen his face.But every knock makes her feel something she hasn’t felt in years—a pull, a longing, a need to know what lies behind it.She thought running away would keep her safe.But some desires are too dangerous to escape.
