Bone & Briar The Weight of Ruin, Book 1, (Paperback)

<p>She wasn't supposed to find peace. She was supposed to find him.</p><p>Eden Clarke is running. A viral scandal destroyed her career, her reputation, and every relationship she ever built. When she rents an isolated cabin deep in the Appalachian mountains, she's not looking for love. She's looking for silence.</p><p>She finds Silas Boone instead.</p><p>He's the local woodsman - massive, quiet, and unsettlingly capable. He fixes her broken furnace. He brings firewood through a blizzard. He shows up exactly when she needs him, every single time, like the mountain itself sent him.</p><p>But Silas wasn't sent. He was waiting.</p><p>For months, he's been watching. Preparing the cabin. Disabling her car. Cutting the only road out. Every crisis that drives Eden closer to him was engineered by his hands - the same hands that hold her at night, the same hands she's beginning to crave with a desperation that terrifies her.</p><p>By the time she discovers the truth - the surveillance photos, the stolen belongings, the shrine hidden in his shed - Eden faces a choice no woman should have to make: escape back to a world that already destroyed her, or stay with the man who built her cage and pray that what she feels for him is real.</p><p>The Weight of Ruin is a full-length dark romance with stalker/captive themes, forced proximity, morally gray characters, explicit content, and a dark HFN ending. This book contains dubious consent, psychological manipulation, and an obsessive hero who does not apologize. Reader discretion is strongly advised.</p>
