Two Million Dollars. One Target. No Escape. Ella Morris has spent her life in the spotlight, but she never expected the final bow to be her last. Targeted by a ruthless cartel blood feud meant to punish her father, a global bounty is on her head—and the execution is set for a live audience. Her only chance at survival arrives in a form far more terrifying than the men hunting her. Enter Xander Wilde. A cold, ruthless fixer with zero morals and a lethal reputation, he was hired to deliver her straight to her executioners. Instead, he executes a much darker plan: he intercepts the contract, steals her away, and keeps the prize for himself. Whisked away to a high-tech, inescapable fortress, Ella is thrust into a brutal psychological war with the man who now owns her breath, her safety, and her cage. Xander is her captor, her violent protector, and a man whose consuming obsession for her knows no bounds. But when their isolated sanctuary is violently breached by rival killers, the illusion of safety shatters—forcing Ella to face the most dangerous truth of all: the way her pulse quickens not from fear of the monster in the dark, but from the terrifying realization that she doesn't want him to let her go. In a world built on blood and lies, survival doesn't mean finding a way out. It means deciding how deeply you're willing to sink into the dark. If you like dark romance, forced proximity, and deeply possessive anti-heroes, prepare to be consumed.
