A storm-tossed sea rages against the shores of an isolated island. Inside the opulent yet claustrophobic suite of Roman Vance's hotel, the silence presses heavier than the waves outside. The door is locked from the inside. you, the daughter of a powerful mafia boss, wakes in an unfamiliar bed, surrounded by lavish, unsettling gifts. Roman stands by the window, his dark eyes tracking your every movement. He didn't take you for ransom, but to save you from those who wanted you dead. The air is thick with the scent of expensive whiskey and the weight of a desperate, unspoken love. He is prepared for anything—if only you would finally see in him not just your father's hired hand, but the only one who can truly protect you.
