She wrote the story. He read it. And now… he owns her ending.
Addison Steel spent her life chasing her father's shadow until a promise made over his grave rewrote everything.
Julian Knox knew her voice before he ever saw her face, whispered through the deserts of North Africa and the oppressive heat of the Middle East like something inevitable, something that had always been meant to be his.
He thought about her. Fantasized about her. Longed to come home to her long before he had any right to.
Then fate intervened, and for the first time in his life, he walked away from something his heart had already claimed.
Until a devastating attack changed everything, and the woman he’d never forgotten reached out to him. Suddenly, distance no longer mattered, and time ceased to exist.
Because Addison Steel was no longer a fantasy, she was real and she was in trouble.
This time, he doesn't hesitate. He acts. A promise once sealed in blood was about to become prophecy.
But he isn’t the only one watching her.
What begins as surveillance spirals into something far more dangerous as opposing forces close in, buried truths rise to the surface. When the past collides with the present, there is only one last confession left to be whispered. I. AM. INNOCENT.
A dark romance told in dual POV featuring obsession, stalking, power imbalance, degradation and humiliation, dubious consent, touch-her-and-die possessiveness, morally gray antihero, explicit sexual content, graphic violence, dark humor, a tough FMC and a guaranteed HEA.
