Ariella Hart’s life changes the night she slips out of a winter gala for fresh air and is attacked in the shadows. A masked stranger drags her away from danger, saves her with lethal precision—then disappears before she can see his face. She never learns his name, and he never intended for her to remember him… but Elias Ward will return when she least expects it.While Ariella tries to forget the terror of that night, she crosses paths with Damien Voss—the guarded young doctor who becomes the first man to look at her with genuine warmth. Their fragile connection grows in the silence of late-night checkups and stolen moments… until secrets he’s been hiding threaten to destroy everything between them.
