Ghost (The Shadow #1)

I killed her father. Now, I’m under house arrest in her home. Dr. Ellie Hart thinks she specializes in monsters. She’s spent years studying the depraved, convinced she can find the light in the dark.

Now, she thinks she’s found a new project—a man the system failed, placed in her care by a “clerical error” she’s determined to fix.

She doesn’t realize there are no accidents in my world. I’ve been watching her from the shadows for years.

I know the way she smells, the way she thinks, and the exact weight of the grief she carries for the man I put in the ground.

I’m a walking betrayal, a living lie, and every time she looks at me with pity, it only fuels the hunger to show her exactly how dangerous I really am. She wants to find the light in my darkness.

I want to see the exact moment she cracks. She thinks she’s the savior. I’m the devil she invited in.
