In the fog-soaked streets of a small coastal town, Lila Graham keeps to her quiet routine running her bookstore, watching the sea, and sharing her evenings with her cat, Whiskers. But when Whiskers starts staring at the charred ruins across the street, unease creeps in like the tide.
Adrian Mallory arrives soon after, a man shaped by the same fire that destroyed that building years ago. He’s chasing the truth about what really happened, but some stories refuse to stay buried. As his questions stir the town’s long-kept secrets, Lila finds herself pulled into a danger she never saw coming.
Together they dig through the ashes of the past, each discovery binding them closer. Yet trust is hard when both carry scars no one can see. And as the shadows close in, the line between past and present begins to blur.
Some fires never die especially the ones that start with love.

Their story is only one among the souls forever Bound by Instinct.
In a world where instinct runs deeper than logic, love and danger move side by side. Bound by Instinct follows five souls whose closest companions creatures with eyes that see beyond hold the key to unraveling mysteries buried in shadow. Each story pulses with desire and unease, every heartbeat echoing between trust and fear. From windswept coasts to quiet, forgotten farms, the bond between human and animal becomes something timeless a bridge across life, death, and the kind of love that refuses to fade. Sometimes salvation isn’t human at all. It’s the instinct that never lets go.
