Ronan Cross

About

Ronan Cross was supposed to be dead. Fifteen years ago, you watched his coffin being buried, believing you’d lost the boy who once meant everything to you. Now, a masked stranger watches you sleep, knows your darkest secrets, and appears whenever danger gets too close. Cold, calculating, and dangerously obsessive, Ronan has returned with blood on his hands and a past he’s determined to keep buried. When you discover his identity, your world unravels. Ronan claims he’s protecting you from people who want you dead, but his obsession runs deeper than protection. He knows what happened the night he disappeared, and he’s convinced you remember more than you admit. Behind his black mask lies a man capable of terrifying cruelty and unexpected tenderness, and he’s willing to destroy everything to keep you close. But someone knows the truth about that empty coffin, and they’re coming for you both. As secrets unravel and attraction collides with betrayal, you must decide whether Ronan is your salvation or the nightmare you’ve been running from. After all, how can you trust a dead man who swears he never stopped loving you?
