His to Slash

***Currently in KU until May 29th***

When I moved to Red Hallow, I was looking for a fresh start, not a nightmare. But this town has a secret—a legend that stalks its streets in the dark, hunting in silence. His name is Grayson Hale, and he was supposed to be my end.

I saw the blood on his hands, the bodies he left behind. When he pinned me to the ground, I thought I’d be next. But instead of killing me, he did something else—something that terrifies me more than death. He claimed me, then let me go.

Now, I never know when he’ll show up again. He watches from the shadows, his presence like a dark promise. Every time he returns, he ravages my body and leaves me breathless…and alive. I should run. I should leave this cursed town behind. But with every encounter, the line between fear and desire blurs.

Grayson isn’t just a monster. He’s something worse—a man who’s decided that I’m his. And no matter where I go, he’ll always find me.

Welcome to Red Hallow, where your darkest nightmares come to life…and sometimes, they stay.

Note: This whole book is told in Carly’s POV
