About this book

Skully Morgan is a blank slate. After waking up with no memory of the traumatic night on the cliff that changed everything, she is cast out by Madden, a cold, steel-eyed man who claims to have once owned her heart. Relieved to leave her mysterious past behind, Skully builds a new life, believing she has finally escaped the shadows of her former existence.

But the past is a persistent ghost. Two years later, the truth about her forgotten life unravels, forcing her back into the clutches of a family that only wants her when it is convenient. She returns to find Madden waiting, more dangerous and hateful than before. He insists that the magic surging through her veins is a catastrophe waiting to happen, and he has vowed to destroy her for daring to step foot in his world again.

This pulse-pounding paranormal romance is a masterclass in tension, blending the amnesia and enemies-to-lovers tropes with a dark, secret society backdrop. As Skully taps into a forbidden power that no one can control, she realizes she no longer belongs to anyone. If you love high-stakes magic, simmering resentment, and heroines who fight back, this is your next obsession.
