Fill the Void: “he Didn’t Fix Her. He Fit Into Every Broken Piece and Made It Home.”

She lost herself the day her best friend died. He found himself the moment he saw her. Shaun wears her grief like a second skin. Haunted by the suicide of the only man she ever truly loved and shattered by the betrayal that followed, she drifts through life as a shell—broken, numb, and desperate to forget. Until a strange encounter in her friend’s bookstore leaves her feeling…watched. He’s always been a monster. Hardened by the brutal murder of his parents, he’s perfected the art of pretending—smiling, charming, fitting in. But when he sees Shaun, he doesn’t want to pretend. He wants to possess. Her shadows call to his, and the flicker of light she still carries? He’ll extinguish it, or make it his. As obsession blurs into something darker, Shaun is drawn into a world where desire and danger are one and the same. And when the truth of who he is finally comes to light—she realizes love isn’t just twisted. It’s a trap. That she willingly walks into—for him.
