In His Bones

He saw her first. He’s never stopped watching. And now, he’s never leaving.

Candace spent years burying the past-hiding the scars, pretending she was normal. Safe. No one knows what really happened to her; not her best friend, nor the world she carefully keeps at arm’s length.

But Noah Gaines knows.

Fresh out of prison and back in town, her best friend’s older brother isn’t the same boy she once knew. He’s harder, darker. And he’s been watching her for years.

She should be terrified. She should run. She should lock her doors and pretend he isn’t out there in the shadows, waiting.

But when everything she’s built begins to crumble, she realizes something horrifying.

Maybe she was never meant to be safe.

Maybe she was always meant to be his.
