Kissing Skeletons

Some wounds don't heal—they just wait.

Ten years ago, a single devastating night tore Marin and Sang apart and left the entire town pointing fingers. While Marin was forced to disappear and rebuild her life from the ashes, Sang stayed behind, branded a murderer, suffocating under the weight of a judgment he couldn't escape. She never stopped thinking about him. He never stopped paying for a crime the truth hasn't finished telling.

Now Marin is back, armed with sharp instincts, a hacker's ruthless precision, and a dangerously unresolved hunger for the man she once loved more than anything. Sang—scarred, guarded, and achingly magnetic in his firefighter's uniform—wants nothing to do with the woman who disappeared when he needed her most. But when the real story behind that night begins to surface, they need each other in ways neither is willing to admit.

Their solution? A fake relationship that gives them cover to dig for the truth. The problem? Nothing between them has ever been fake. Every stolen glance, every charged argument, every moment they spend within reach of each other makes the line between performance and desire impossible to find.

*Kissing Skeletons* is a scorching dark romance that doesn't flinch from complicated histories, morally grey characters, or the kind of passion that burns hottest when it's been denied the longest. The truth is dangerous. The attraction is worse. And neither of them can walk away this time.
