Panther in the Shadows: A Dark Fated Mates Romance

I’ve lived my whole life hiding what I am.

Stormhaven hides its secrets in the mist, and I’ve learned not to go looking for them.
But when people start disappearing and every whisper leads back to Rafael Vega, I can’t look away.

He’s the man who rules the docks with quiet ruthlessness; a panther shifter whose very name keeps the peace through fear. Everyone says he’s dangerous. I believe them.
What scares me more is how drawn I am to him.

I tell myself I’m just searching for the truth, but every step pulls me deeper into his shadows. Beneath the danger, I see something else, a wounded protector, hunted by enemies who want him dead.

Now the storm is rising, and I’m caught between the world I know and the man I can’t resist.
If I stay, I risk my life.
If I leave, I lose the only man who ever made me feel truly seen.
