Reverie Adams is fighting to survive the crushing weight of her father’s sinister legacy. As the daughter of a notorious serial killer, she desperately tries to forge a normal life at Hollow Canyon University, but her past refuses to stay buried. Haunted by memories and shadowed by bloodlines, she finds herself trapped in a cycle of fear that threatens to pull her under for good. Enter Dreadful Sharpe, an Olympic swimmer driven by a singular, consuming purpose: vengeance. He holds Reverie’s family responsible for his mother’s murder and is determined to make her suffer for sins she didn't commit. Their relationship is a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers collision, defined by Dread’s relentless pursuit of retribution and Reverie’s struggle to prove she is more than just her father's daughter. As Dread inflicts his wrath, the lines between predator and prey begin to blur. They soon discover that the ghosts surrounding them are far more dangerous than they imagined, and they may be forced to confront a harrowing truth that changes everything. This intense, dark romance is a high-octane rollercoaster of mystery and psychological tension, perfect for readers who crave morally gray characters and explosive, heart-pounding stakes.
