Every night, he comes to her.
Every morning, she questions whether he was ever real.

Eva Ross did not come to the city seeking love or mystery. She came to disappear—after betrayal, after shame, after years of being overlooked and underestimated. But when her nights begin to fill with vivid dreams of a man who watches, listens, and knows her too well, the boundary between sleep and waking life begins to erode.

He is patient.
He is attentive.
And he feels impossibly real.

As Eva’s dreams grow more intense, so do the changes within her—strength where there was once fragility, clarity where there was doubt. What begins as an escape becomes a quiet transformation, raising a question she can no longer ignore: is he merely a creation of her longing… or something reaching for her from beyond the veil of sleep?

Dreambound: Awakening is a dark, intimate romantic suspense exploring desire, identity, and the unsettling possibility that some connections are formed before they are understood. This volume opens the Dreambound narrative, where intimacy unfolds in whispers, and the most dangerous truths arrive while the world is asleep.
