My Dreadful Darling by H.D. Carlton (Paperback)

Reverie Adams carries the weight of a dark legacy tied to her father, forcing her to live under constant pressure while trying to maintain a sense of normal life at Hollow Canyon University. Every step forward feels fragile, shaped by a past she cannot escape and memories that refuse to fade.

Despite her efforts to stay grounded, her world is haunted by someone who will not let her move on. Dreadful Sharpe enters her life with one purpose, driven by revenge and a deep-rooted belief that she is responsible for the pain in his past. His presence becomes a constant force, disrupting any chance of peace.

Dread is focused on making Reverie pay for what he believes her family has done. His actions are deliberate, built around the idea of retribution, and he sees no reason to stop until she experiences the same suffering he associates with his own loss.

As their lives continue to collide, the truth beneath long-held beliefs begins to surface. What both think they know about the past starts to shift, revealing layers of history that complicate everything between them.

Set within a dark university setting, this story explores the consequences of inherited pain, the pursuit of vengeance, and the possibility that not everything is as clear as it first appears.
