Some people fall in love.
Others are watched long before they ever realize they're not alone.
Celeste Graves is exhausted.
A single mother of three boys, she's spent years surviving instead of living—working, paying bills, and convincing herself that tomorrow will somehow be easier.
Then someone begins listening.
It starts with quiet acts of kindness.
Flowers she never ordered.
Money she never asked for.
Messages from a man she's only ever known through a headset and a gamer tag.
SaintZero.
He's always there.
Always watching.
Always one step ahead.
What begins as an anonymous friendship slowly unravels into something far darker—and far more dangerous. Because Elias Vane has spent years protecting the woman who has no idea just how deeply she's become woven into his life.
He isn't a hero.
He doesn't want redemption.
He only wants her safe.
When the past comes hunting for Celeste and her children, the line between obsession and devotion disappears, forcing them both to confront one impossible question:
How far would someone go for the people they love?
In Hollow Grove, the answer is simple.
Farther than anyone should.
