Speaking in Tongues
Karys Winslow is at the end of her rope. With eviction closing in and nowhere safe to land, she's barely holding it together. Then Vaughn Easton appears-precision, power, and obsession in one man-and he doesn't just offer shelter; he rewrites the rules of her survival. He's 6'3" of mahogany skin, precision, and raw power, and he doesn't just offer her a place to stay-he completely dismantles her reality.
He gives her twenty-four hours of sanctuary, but for Vaughn, one day is never enough. He's obsessed, and he makes sure Karys knows it. He buys the building where her best friend Maya lives just to keep them both under his thumb, and he installs a professional photography studio in his penthouse to keep Karys exactly where he wants her: right in his sight. He's tracking her heart rate, her sleep, her every breath, all in the name of 'fixing the cold' that's been eating her alive.
Karys isn't used to being someone's everything. She's spent her life fighting to survive, and now she's battling the imposter syndrome that tells her this security is just a setup for a fall. She's terrified that one day she'll wake up and the pedestal he's put her on will just crumble. But Vaughn doesn't play games with what he claims. He's a man who demands total surrender, and he's not letting her go-not when he's finally found the only thing that brings him peace.
It's intense. It's heavy. And it's a fight to see if Karys can finally stop sabotaging her own happiness and accept a devotion that feels like a cage, a rescue, and a worship all rolled into one. She's learning that in Vaughn's world, freedom doesn't mean leaving-it means choosing to stay right where the fire is.
