Darkness Consumes You (The Darkness Within Trilogy #1)

He said he’d never let her go. She changed her name. Started over. Tried to disappear. He still found her.
After fleeing a controlling relationship, Ella rebuilds her life under a new name in a quiet coastal town—far enough away to finally feel safe. By the sea, she has found something that once felt impossible—distance. A fragile peace she’s fought hard to protect.

Then, on a storm-lashed night, her past finds her.

Her ex-fiancé, Mark, has tracked her down.

At first, it’s an unexpected message. A cigarette left on her doorstep. Then, the unmistakable scent of his cologne lingering where it shouldn’t be. As the intrusions escalate, Ella realizes this isn’t about reconciliation. It’s about control, the kind that masquerades as love.

Mark isn’t just trying to win her back. He’s planning to make sure she never leaves again.

The walls of her carefully constructed life begin to close in. Ella must confront the man she once loved—and the manipulation she thought she’d escaped.

Stopping him might destroy her completely.

Darkness Consumes You is a gripping coastal psychological thriller of obsession and dark secrets—perfect for readers who love tense, twist-filled suspense that keeps the pages turning late into the night.
