Emerson Grove - Shadows

She hoped the nightmare was over.

It was only the beginning.

Jared survived—and this time, he isnt alone.

With the Remington Group on high alert, danger presses in from every side, and the protection surrounding DJ is starting to feel less like safety… and more like a cage.

But DJ is done being the woman who needs saving.

Surrounded by a fiercely loyal team whose protection comes with plenty of bite, shes ready to take control where she can—and the bedroom may be the one place she gets to write the rules.

As longtime TRG ally Shrink begins peeling back the layers of Jareds obsession, the threats escalate—poisoned coffee pods, silent intruders, and the growing certainty that the enemy is closer than anyone realizes.

In Emerson Grove, predators dont hide in the shadows.

They hide in trust.

As loyalties are tested and danger closes in, Cory is forced to face a truth he never expected: protecting the woman he loves might mean loosening his grip… not tightening it.

Jared survived.

But so did she.

And this time, shes choosing how the story ends.
