How WITSEC Began
Ashley N. Rostek, a self-professed romance enthusiast and night-owl writer, crafted WITSEC as a love letter to readers who crave emotional depth with a side of danger.

The Heart of WITSEC
The WITSEC series spans four gripping books, each building on Shiloh’s journey and her evolving relationships with the Stone brothers—Colt, Creed, Keelan, and Knox.

Save Me (Book 2) amps up the suspense as Shiloh’s past creeps closer, while her growing feelings for the brothers complicate her guarded heart. Love Me (Book 3) dives into her emotional struggles with PTSD and survivor’s guilt, showcasing the brothers’ unique roles in her healing—Colt as comfort, Creed as support, Keelan as joy, and Knox as strength. Finally, Free Me (Book 4) delivers a heart-pounding finale as Shiloh confronts her pursuer to protect her newfound family.
The series shines through its blend of dark romance, psychological thriller elements, and a slow-burn reverse harem dynamic. Set in a small town with a corrupt sheriff and lurking threats, WITSEC balances steamy chemistry with a gritty crime subplot. Themes of resilience, trust, and healing resonate throughout, as Shiloh transforms from a lone survivor into a woman empowered by love and courage. Rostek’s vivid writing and well-paced plotting make each book an addictive, emotional ride.
