Last Shadow

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

She ran from a monster. He was hired to kill her. Lara thought she’d escaped, new town, new life, two months of quiet. Then Colt Blackwood tracked her down. They call him Last Shadow. If he’s sent for you, you don’t walk away. Except he looked at her and couldn’t pull the trigger. Now they’re running.
Motels. Rain-soaked roads. Safe houses that aren’t safe.
Hitmen closing in. Her husband’s empire hunting. Colt’s past bleeding into the present. Between the bullets and the shadows, something ignites.
Heat. Need. Trust that scares them both. He’ll burn the world to keep her safe.
She’s starting to believe he might. This isn’t rescue.
It’s obsession.
It’s redemption.
It’s fire.

Author Note💋

Last Shadow is dark, raw, and unfiltered, just how the story demanded to be told. Colt and Lara fight through shadows for something real, and yeah, it gets heavy. If you’ve ridden with me before, you know what to expect: alpha protectiveness, fierce heroines, scorching heat, sharp banter, and hearts that don’t quit.

If the dark parts feel too close, take care of yourself first. You don’t owe any book your time.

Trigger Warnings

This book deals with heavy shit. No sugarcoating. If any of this is a hard no for you, please protect your peace and skip it.

Graphic violence and murder (including gun violence, knife fights, hand-to-hand brutality, Colt’s a hitman, so it’s part of the life)

Past domestic abuse (emotional, psychological control, gaslighting from an ex-husband)

Stalking/obsessive watching (initially non-consensual from Colt’s side before it turns protective)

Explicit sexual content (high heat, rough, dominant/possessive, dirty talk, power dynamics, detailed and frequent)

PTSD elements, nightmares, and trauma triggers (flashbacks to abuse, panic responses)

Death threats and pursuit (on-the-run danger, assassins, bounties)

Betrayal and moral gray areas (hero grapples with killing for love)

If you need to talk to someone about any of this stuff, there are resources out there. You’re not alone.

Take care of your heart.
