Synopsis
I helped put him behind bars. But he may be the only one who can save me.
I stopped living the night my world went dark. What’s left of me is a shadow fueled by a single purpose: justice.
I’ve spent years living for the dead, honoring the friends I lost while waiting to face the man who took everything from me. I was prepared for the truth.
I thought I knew how the story ended.
But a sudden blizzard, and a twist of fate, has driven me off the road and straight into the arms of the man I helped put away.
Valen Creed.
To the world, he’s a villain. To me, he was a nightmare. Now, I’m stranded in his isolated cabin while the snow buries my car and my only chance at escape. He’s scarred, hardened, and has every reason to hate me.
He spent years behind bars for a crime I thought I witnessed... a crime I was wrong about.
Outside, the true threat is still out there, stalking through the whiteout. But inside these timber walls, the tension is more volatile than the storm. Valen doesn't just want an apology.
He wants the truth. And as the lines between my enemy and my protector begin to blur, I realize the only thing more terrifying than the shadow hunting me is the man who just saved my life.
In this cabin, the past never stays buried. It always finds a way to leave a mark.
♥ Lilac and Bone is a romantic suspense novel featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, psychological intensity, and survival against a deadly threat. Please check the author website for a full list of TW ♥

My Review
「⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5 Star Review...」
☀︎ LILAC AND BONE☀︎
Is the first full length enemies to lovers romance book in the (Petals and Bone) series by new to me author Dani Antoinette.
Hero (Valen) She calls him: My Viking Overlord Heroine (Seraphine) He calls her: Little Lamb.
I'd seen this pop up a few times on my feed in here on release day, read the blurb and of course I had to grab it off Amazon. Excited to see what this author throws at me...
Tropes:
❥ Enemies to Lovers
❥ Forced Proximity
❥ Anti Hero
❥ Slow Burn
❥ Wrongfully Convicted
❥ Killer On The Loose
❥ Survivor Guilt
❥ Touch her and die
I really enjoyed this, not knowing what to expect as I’d only had the blurb to go by and went in blind without looking at reviews. Not expecting that the very first chapter is when shit hits the fan, utter terror reigning down upon a group of sorority sisters, the screams, the terror, the sounds of their deaths, killed within their home, right on campus with one survivor with a slashed throat marring her skin.
Putting the perpetrator inside should’ve been the end of it..But that man rotting behind bars..He’s innocent..
Six years after that horrific night Seraphine has stepped out of the shadows and come back to where it happened stronger than ever, she's going to lure him in by using herself as bait and killing him. But that night as she's driving through a blizzard to reach the mountain where she's rented a cabin to do the deed, she crashes her car and barely makes it to the nearest cabin alive, only when that door opens she's staring in the eyes of the man she sent to prison.
A lesser man would've shut the door in her face..But not Valen..Now she was trapped inside his cabin with a storm raging at their door and no escape in sight.
❝ She's mine now, whether she realised it or not.
I'd kill for her. Burn the world down for her.
But the only thing I wouldn't do was let her go.❞
With a twist I never saw coming, these two are going to work as a team to bring justice to the lost victims and right the wrongs of that night by catching a killer...
I've never loved two characters as much as I did these two, Valen had me swooning like no other, he went into prison a happy go lucky kind of guy, coming out he was a completely different man. Hardened, ruthless, protective..Seraphine had me giggling continuously, every thought she had escaped her mouth, she was like a breath of fresh air...
