Mine (Crew of Elmwood Public #4)

She’s the obsession. He’s the addiction.

MALLORY Monsters exist in every corner of the world—and I’ve seen more than most. I was raised by one. But to me? She isn’t a monster. She’s just Mom.

After years on the run with my vigilante serial killer mother, we finally settle in the quiet town of Elmwood. This time, it’s supposed to be different. No more bodies. No more blood. No more death.

Or so I thought. All I have to do is survive senior year, keep my secrets buried, and maybe—just maybe—live something close to normal. But normal has never existed for me.

Not when I’ve spent my life outrunning consequences that never seem to catch up. And definitely not when Maddox Corvo enters the picture.

Because I’m not just hiding from my past… I might be becoming it.

MADDOX Elmwood knows me as the golden boy. Football god. Untouchable. But they don’t see what’s underneath. They don’t see the darker, more dangerous parts of me—the ones that come with being a Corvo.

Around here, that name carries weight… and consequences. I don’t have room for distractions. Mallory Hales is exactly that. I’ve been burned before, and I’m not looking for a repeat.

But she has a way of getting under my skin—of showing up where she shouldn’t be… and stirring things I don’t want to feel. Now there’s a stalker at Elmwood Public, and he’s fixated on her.

I shouldn’t get involved. Saving girls isn’t my thing. But I don’t do anything halfway. In a town full of secrets and predators hiding in plain sight, the line between hunter and prey starts to blur.

Because Mallory isn’t the only one with darkness inside her… And I may have finally met someone just as twisted as I am.
