Description

From bestselling author Kelly Andrew comes a gripping and electrifying dark romance that will leave you breathless and desperate for more.

After losing his father, Thomas Walsh had no choice but to grow up fast. Struggling to provide for himself and his critically ill mother by taking whatever jobs he could find, Thomas is instantly drawn to an offer he can’t refuse—a lucrative position serving as interpreter for a wealthy heiress who communicates solely through sign language. As the hearing son of a Deaf parent, Thomas feels perfectly suited for the role and seizes the opportunity.

Yet the new job quickly proves more challenging than Thomas anticipated. Vivienne Farrow is fiercely independent and seems determined to push him away from the very start. Making matters even more complicated, her controlling parents keep her closely monitored and strictly limited. She’s not allowed out unsupervised, must adhere rigidly to her routine, and above all else, Vivienne must never, ever be out after dark.

Vivienne Farrow is selectively mute—she hasn’t spoken a single word since she disappeared one night in Red Rock Canyon at the age of four. No one fully understands what happened during that fateful trip. All they know is that ever since her return, the sound of her voice has brought death to anyone who hears it.

For years, Vivienne has secretly fought to regain control of her own voice and body. Because whatever looks back at her from the mirror isn’t her at all—it’s something more sinister, twisted, something monstrous hiding beneath the surface.

But now Vivienne finally sees some hope: she’s located someone who claims they can perform an unheard-of ritual, a dangerous surgical exorcism to free her. However, first she must rid herself of Thomas, the intrusive interpreter who’s become inseparable from her side.

Yet Thomas can’t afford to give up this job or abandon the mysterious heiress he’s steadily falling for—no matter how dangerous the dark power threatening them might be, or how certain it seems that it will devour them both.
