[KOBO EXCLUSIVE] A scarred hermit. A woman in wreckage. A mountain that won't let her go. Callum I live by a simple code: stone doesn’t lie, and stone doesn’t leave. After the fire, I retreated to Blackstone Ridge to be alone with my scars and my silence. I didn’t want a life—I wanted a fortress. Then a storm delivered Felicity Vance to my doorstep. One look at her golden hair and sky-blue eyes, and the walls around my heart didn't just crack—they shattered. I pulled her from the wreckage, and the moment I felt her heartbeat against mine, I knew. She isn't just a visitor. She’s my reclamation. Felicity I’m a restorer of broken things, but I never expected to be the one who needed saving. Stranded on a rugged Texas mountain after a terrifying accident, I wake up in a stone fortress guarded by a man who looks like a vengeful god. Callum Sterling is massive, scarred, and dangerously possessive. He tells me the roads are washed out, but the hunger in his gaze tells a different story. He doesn't just want to keep me safe; he wants to keep me forever . In the shadows of the Ridge, fear turns into a fever. He’s a man of stone, but for me, he’ll burn the world down.
