Shelter Me From Ruin

You ran with nothing but a split lip and a burner phone, and the only safe house your contact gave you belongs to a cold-eyed stranger named Declan Ashford — a man who makes it clear he does not do sentiment, only survival. But the manor has secrets older than your crisis, the man guarding your door looks at you like you are already his to lose, and the person who sent you here has just gone dark. Seventy-two hours. Three people who each want something from you. One truth that could get you all killed.

intro: She got out — but he's not done letting go. Kassie thought leaving was the hardest part. She packed one bag, changed her number, moved to a city where no one knew her name. But the bruises fade faster than the fear, and somewhere behind her, he's still searching. You're the stranger who offered her a couch, a locked door, and no questions — and now she's starting to trust you. The question isn't whether she's safe yet — it's whether you'll still be standing beside her when he finally shows up.
