Fame became her prison until death set her free. When actress Regan Vale flees her suffocating celebrity life for a remote Washington coast, she's seeking anonymity—not salvation. When a violent storm leaves her broken and dying on an isolated beach, a mysterious stranger offers the a second chance at life. Gabriel Virelli lives by ancient laws in his clifftop mansion, guarding secrets that have kept his family hidden for centuries. Saving Regan should have been simple mercy. The ritual that pulls her back from death creates something unprecedented—a connection that defies every rule he's sworn to uphold. Now Regan must navigate a world where nothing is as it seems, where her savior harbors dangerous truths, and where the life she thought she'd escaped is hunting her down. The deeper she's drawn into Gabriel's shadowed world, the more she realizes her greatest threat may not be her past catching up to her. Will she finally find the authentic life she's always craved among those who live in shadow? Or will the truth about what binds her to Gabriel prove more terrifying than any spotlight she ever faced?
