REDWOOD
Elena Martinez has built the perfect life-quiet, controlled, and carefully out of reach.
No past.
No questions.
No one close enough to see the truth.
Then she meets Marcus Thorne.
What starts as a dangerous, intoxicating affair quickly becomes something neither of them can control. With Marcus, Elena doesn't have to pretend. For the first time in years, she feels seen.
But being seen comes with a cost.
Because Elena Martinez isn't who she says she is.
And when Marcus discovers the truth, the foundation of everything between them begins to crack. What was once passion becomes suspicion. What felt real becomes something far more dangerous.
Then Marcus's ex-wife disappears.
And suddenly, the lies Elena built to protect herself begin to look a lot like motives.
As secrets unravel and the past refuses to stay buried, Elena and Marcus find themselves pulled into a game neither of them understands-where control is an illusion, trust is a liability, and the truth may not set them free...
...it may destroy them both.
