Shot in the Dark: A Ravensbrook Romantic Suspense Short Story (Morgan & Fairchild)
About
A romantic suspense short read set in Ravensbrook...
Ellie talks to fill the quiet. It’s how she makes friends, lands interviews, and keeps the world at arm’s length while she builds her name as a filmmaker.
Riley lives for the quiet. A veteran who works close protection, he’s learned that distance keeps people safe and feelings manageable. He prefers his life to be controlled, orderly, and solitary.
Then Ellie moves in next door.
She’s sunshine with a megaphone. He’s a locked door with a deadbolt. And when Riley finds himself pulled into her orbit, he does what he always does: shuts it down.
Until someone breaks into Ellie’s home.
Suddenly, the threat is real, the stakes are personal, and Riley is the closest line of defence she has. Protecting her is his job. Wanting her is his problem.
Because whoever targeted Ellie didn’t come for nothing… and the next time, Riley might not get there in time.
