The Gray Council
Behind the Mask

HE WATCHES HER EVERY MOVE.
SHE DREAMS OF A MASKED STRANGER.
NEITHER KNOWS WHERE OBSESSION ENDS AND LOVE BEGINS.
Roman Huntington, founder of Sentinel AI and secret member of Seattle’s vigilante Gray Council, takes what he wants. And from the moment he sees Dr. Nova Chandler through his building’s security cameras, he decides she belongs to him.
Nova has finally escaped her manipulative ex and rebuilt her life as a respected psychiatrist. When mysterious “dreams” of a masked stranger leave evidence too real to ignore, her world collides with Roman’s dark obsession in ways neither expected.
After Nova collapses alone in her apartment, she awakens captive in Roman’s penthouse, forced to confront the terrifying truth: the masked man from her dreams is real, her new patient “Brad” is an elaborate lie, and her stalker might be the only one who truly sees her.
As danger from Roman’s vigilante world threatens them both, Nova must decide if the protection Roman offers is worth surrendering her freedom to a man who claims she was always meant to be his.
