She wasn't meant to be seen.
He wasn't meant to notice her.
Now he can't let her go.
Scarlett built her life on control - perfect images, perfect moments, perfectly curated distance. Everything looks flawless from the outside. That's the point.
Rook sees through it in seconds.
He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't play games. And he definitely doesn't take no for an answer. There's something about her that pulls him in - something quiet, restrained... and dangerously close to breaking.
What starts as curiosity turns into something far more consuming. The lines blur. Control shifts. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell who's holding power - and who's already lost it.
Because Rook doesn't do halfway.
And once he decides something is his... he doesn't walk away.
Rook's Songbird is a dark romance about obsession, control, and the kind of connection that feels inevitable-even when it shouldn't.
