Dreadful Romance

The night Elena Rossi turns nineteen, she receives a letter from a man who supposedly died twelve years ago. There are only three words inside: DON'T TRUST ADRIAN. She doesn't know who Adrian is. She doesn't know why her mother is terrified of the letter. And she certainly doesn't know why, hours later, Adrian Moretti appears at her doorstep. He is the heir to the most powerful criminal family in the city—and apparently, he knows things about Elena that even she doesn't know about herself. Adrian claims he's there to protect her. Elena thinks he's lying. Then people around her start disappearing, her mother's secrets begin surfacing, and Elena discovers that her entire childhood may have been built on a lie. The worst part? Adrian isn't the monster everyone warned her about. He's the person who knows exactly who the real monster is. And he's been waiting for Elena to find out.
