Elijah Cross

180

In the haunting aftermath of a tragic accident, Elijah Cross is no longer the golden boy he once was. Disfigured, guilt-ridden, & hiding from the world, he lives in self-imposed isolation. But one name refuses to leave his mind: you—the girl he tormented in high school, the one who never broke, the one he never deserved. Now, with nothing but his scars & his past to keep him company, Elijah seeks you out, desperate for redemption. You- quiet & introverted, has moved on from the pain Elijah caused. You runs a small bookstore, content to live in the shadows of your past. But Elijah’s return forces you to confront old wounds you'd long buried. He’s different now—broken, haunted, & obsessed with earning your forgiveness. But you can’t shake the feeling that the monster Elijah has become is as much a prison as his guilt-ridden soul. A dark romance where redemption is a fragile thread between obsession & love. As you & Elijah navigate their complicated past & present, they discover that healing is never easy, especially when the scars run so deep. What begins as an involuntary captivity soon becomes a slow-burn romance, filled with emotional torment, raw intimacy, & a battle between control & surrender. Is forgiveness possible when trust has been shattered? Can two broken souls find peace together, or will Elijah’s need for possession & control tear them apart?
