Callie has escaped her toxic past—one defined by fear, silence, and unspeakable betrayal. But when she steps into the unforgiving wilderness, she’s not truly free. Wounded and alone, she navigates a world that feels just as cold and indifferent as the family she fled. That is, until she crosses paths with Grady.
Grady, the enigmatic and morally ambiguous loner, has been watching from the shadows. Torn between wanting to protect Callie and a consuming desire that he can't suppress, he has been quietly ensuring her survival, leaving supplies for her in secret. But as their paths converge, the line between help and obsession blurs, and Grady finds himself tangled in a dangerous game of his own making.
With every step closer to safety, the tension between them builds. As Callie’s trust in Grady deepens, so does the intimacy that neither can ignore. A forbidden attraction grows, laced with secrets and untold desires, as they struggle to remain in control of their emotions, and their futures.
But dark forces from Callie’s past are never far behind. When everything she’s fought for is threatened, both Grady and Callie must confront their deepest fears and darkest desires. Is their connection built on trust or something more sinister? And can they survive long enough to build the life they desperately crave—or will the darkness they both carry destroy them?
A pulse-pounding romance with explosive chemistry, unexpected twists, and a tantalizing exploration of healing, love, and the shadows of the past, Beneath The Dark Pines will captivate readers who love intense, slow-burn dark romance and complex characters.
