One man wanted her dead. The other decided she was his. Elara was the star witness in the city’s biggest corruption trial—until her mentor, the man she trusted most, sold her life for a wire transfer. But when the assassins closed in, it wasn’t the police who intervened. It was Julian Thorne, the very man she was supposed to testify against. Known only as "The Ghost," Julian has spent months watching Elara from the shadows, cataloging her habits and memorizing her fears. Now, he has wiped her from the world, whisking her away to a cliffside manor that is as much a sanctuary as it is a prison. Trapped between a traitor who wants her silenced and a protector who refuses to let her go, Elara must navigate a blurred line of terror and desire. In a world where the law is for sale, she’s about to learn that the only thing more dangerous than a man who wants you dead is a man who would burn the world down just to keep you in his cage.
