Midnight's Toll

Every night at three, the same black car pulls into Rowan Kade's toll lane. The driver never speaks. He pays in cash and watches her through the rain.

His name is Silas.

When Rowan's car breaks down after another lonely shift, he's waiting in the parking lot. With no working phone and nowhere else to turn, she accepts his help.

But Silas doesn't take her home.

He brings her to an isolated house surrounded by locked gates, where everything has been prepared for her arrival. He knows her schedule, her habits, and the life she's been struggling to hold together.

Rowan should be terrified. Instead, the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to imagine leaving.

Because the most frightening thing about Silas isn't how carefully he planned to keep her.

It's how badly she begins to want him to.

A dark psychological romance about obsession, isolation, and the dangerous comfort of surrender.
