When her gallery is breached and a single note left behind, Isabella Moretti's carefully curated world shatters overnight.
The intruder isn't a thief. He's a ghost from her father's debts - a man who burns rooms just to leave his signature in the ashes.
Enter Dante Romano. Cold, magnetic, and impossibly dangerous, Dante offers Isabella protection at a price: her trust. He fights her battles with fire and ledgers, but the more he saves her, the more she wonders if she's surviving him or choosing him.
From smoke-filled apartments to midnight confrontations in a museum built on dirty money, Isabella learns that survival isn't victory - it's a receipt. And if she wants to win, she'll have to decide whether Dante is her captor, her salvation...or both.
AFTER ALIVE is a slow-burn, high-stakes dark romance of obsession, survival, and power - where every choice is a gamble, and love is the most dangerous contract of all.
