You Can't Run

(2026)
A novel by

 
 
Someone’s stalking me. Muscled. Masked. Older. Powerful enough to ruin me … and obsessed enough to make me fall.

Zee

I feel him
watching
The
sculpted man in the sugar skull mask
He knows my every move, my every weakness
My every hidden desire
After my father’s mysterious death, I’m pushed into a
secret world I don’t understand
But nothing prepared me for him
Off-limits.
Forbidden.
Dangerous.
I shouldn’t fall for the voice that makes me quiver, or for the touch that makes my body betray my mind
He knows things he shouldn’t
He sees parts of me I try to hide
The closer I get, the more
twisted secrets I find behind that mask
And the harder it is to escape his grasp

The day I met the masked man who watches me from the shadows is the day I should’ve run

Sugar Skull
Zee was never meant to be mine
Too close
Too young
Too tempting to ignore
I’ve watched her longer than she knows, and now I’m addicted
To every step
To every quiver
To every moment she thinks she’s alone
Men who touch her won’t walk away
I’ll make sure they’ll painfully pay
She thinks she’s being hunted
Well, she is
And I always finish what I start

It’s you and me until the end, angel.
Promise.
