Shallow River by H.D. Carlton

Standalone

The river runs deep. So does the darkness beneath the surface.

She thought she was safe. She thought she knew the people around her.

She was wrong on both counts.

Shallow River is a dark, twisted story from the author of Haunting Adeline, blurring the line between predator and protector, fear and fascination, trust and betrayal.

As danger closes in, psychological manipulation and obsessive relationship dynamics turn every sense of safety into a question. The people around her are more complex than they appear, and misplaced trust may carry a deadly cost.

H.D. Carlton delivers a raw blend of dark romance and psychological thriller with morally grey characters, stalking, violence and explicit content. This is not a gentle love story, but a tense exploration of survival and the darkness hidden beneath familiar surfaces.

”Some rivers look shallow. Some people do too. Neither are safe to cross.”
