A cabin, a troubled past, and a fraught family connection

Calista’s attempt to rebuild her family’s vacation cabin brings her into close quarters with Ronan, her step-uncle, recently released after fifteen years in prison for murder. The story sets a renovation project alongside two characters’ histories of turmoil and secrecy, with their attraction complicated by their family tie and Ronan’s violent past. Told through descriptions from both Calista and Ronan, the setup frames romance around questions of trust, repair, and what each character believes can—or cannot—be changed.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in dark romance with a family connection at the center.
  • Readers drawn to stories involving criminal histories, personal secrets, and a remote cabin setting.
  • Those interested in romance framed by characters confronting difficult pasts.

Book overview

Calista - Everyone has a past, but mine is a storm that never stops chasing me. When my life goes up in flames by my own doing, I'm left with an impossible choice: lose everything I've built or hide out in a remote cabin with a killer. My plan is to rebuild the vacation home where my family once spent summers, hoping it will distract me from the chaos. But there's one major complication: my roommate is way too hot. And who is this too-hot roommate? My damn step-uncle. He's a convicted murderer with a history as dark as my own, and maybe this cabin isn't the only thing I'm desperate to repair.

 

Ronan - Fifteen years behind bars, and freedom tastes no sweeter than my old concrete cell. I figured I'd drink myself into an early grave or wind up back in prison. Then my little step-niece showed up, begging to stay at the place my brother let me live in. She's fixing up the cabin, but I can see it in her eyes that I'm also on the plans for repairs. But I don't need fixing; I'm not broken, just forgotten. She's a beautiful fighter with secrets she's not ready to share. But she's in a cage with a lion that's been starved too long, and now that I'm free, I've got an appetite that will only be satisfied by her.
