Make Me Stay (Book 1) (affiliate link)
Donavan Hardy carries enough anger for them both.
When they were young, Donavan learned sign language so he could talk to the deaf beauty. He cared, even when Avery’s influential father couldn’t be bothered with her “flaw.” In spite of things, the bad boy made her fall in love with sound… with music. They couldn’t have been any more different, but he was always meant to protect her, just like she was always meant to calm his rage. And then, Avery’s world came crashing down when the love of her life disappeared without a trace, leaving her broken-hearted and pregnant. She loses her baby, the last bit of him she has left, and her world plunges deeper into darkness.
It’s spreading…

When Ryan Cartwright and a group of his closest friends hire a tiny cottage in the windswept Scottish Highlands to celebrate his upcoming wedding, they get more than they bargained for. Along with the deathly chill and the unforgiving landscape, they are about to discover something unimaginably ancient and unbelievably wicked.

Darling Arrow,
I shouldn’t be writing this. It’s not as if I’m ever going to send you this letter, and there are a million reasons why.

Second of all, you’re a giant jerk. You’re arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t even like you.
But strangely your coldness sets me on fire.
