text-align: justify;">Book 1: Saving Leighla Bell

Three years ago, Nico Salvatore lost everything. A car accident took his wife and his daughter. The life he thought he would have forever.

Since then, he’s kept to himself until a friend convinces him to join their family for dinner. That’s when Nico meets sixteen-year-old Leighla Bell. She looks exactly like his daughter did before the accident. The resemblance cracks something open inside him. Something desperate. Something obsessive.

At first, he only watches from a distance., from the shadows, convincing himself it’s harmless. But the more Nico studies Leighla’s life, the more certain he becomes of one terrifying truth: She was meant to be his second chance.

Then one day Leighla disappears. Hidden away in a remote cabin deep in the woods, she is forced into a life she never chose with a man who believes he saved her.

For more than a year she survives his obsession, waiting for the moment she can finally escape, because Leighla knows something Nico refuses to understand. She is not his daughter, she is not his second chance, and if she ever gets the chance to run she will not stop until she finds her way home.

Book 2: Reclaiming Leighla Bell

A year ago, Leighla Bell vanished without a trace. Hidden deep in the woods, she survived on fear, silence, and the twisted devotion of the man who stole her life. When she finally escapes and finds her way home, she believes the nightmare is over. She believes she’s safe.

But Nico Salvatore has never let go of anything he loves.

Now Leighla is back in the world he thinks she was never meant to return to. Reporters crowd her lawn, police ask endless questions, and her parents cling to her like she might disappear again. Everyone wants to know what happened in that cabin.

Everyone except Leighla.

Because Nico is still out there. Watching. Waiting. And the first letter he leaves in her bedroom window makes one thing terrifyingly clear: he will do anything to bring her home again.

As taps on the glass return and threats tighten around her family, Leighla must confront the truth she tried to outrun. Escape was only the beginning. Survival is no longer enough.

This time, she has to reclaim her life, before Nico takes it back.
