by L. Renée Richard (Author)
By day, Victor Flores is the perfect student-quiet, focused, and determined to escape the violence at home. At night, he faces the monster made from a life he can't control. Until Daniella Andrade moves in next door. She becomes his light, his anchor, and worst of all, his obsession.
Together, they dream of a future untouched by Vic's toxic past and a secret they swore to bury. But then Dani disappears, leaving behind only broken promises and shattered dreams.
Years later, Vic has become a brilliant surgeon, saving lives by day and hiding behind the scalpel by night. Beneath his calm façade lies a darker urge for control and vengeance. When Dani finally returns with secrets of her own, she realizes the boy she loved has become a man split in two. But what if the monster is exactly what she needs?
Love like theirs doesn't heal. It kills.
