He bought her debt. He never planned to fall for the collateral.
Wren Ashcombe has spent two years quietly keeping her father's failing restaurant alive. She never knew what it was really costing him - until Kai Voronin's men show up at 2 a.m. to collect a debt of $340,000, and Kai decides the only asset in the house worth taking... is her.
Ninety days. That's what he gives her. That's what he gives himself - to decide exactly what she's worth to a man who has spent a decade refusing to do the one thing he just did.
Behind the locked doors of his lake house, Wren doesn't find the monster she was warned about. She finds a captor who tells her the truth even when it costs him. A secret ledger that doesn't match his family's reputation. And a pull toward him she has absolutely no intention of forgiving herself for.
But Kai's father wants her married off to seal a truce with a rival Bratva family. A rival captain is laundering money through the very negotiation meant to trade her away. And the debt that brought her here is about to become the least dangerous thing in her life.
Wren will have to decide if the freedom she's fighting for is worth more than the man she was never supposed to want to stay for.
A dark, slow-burn captor romance with forced proximity, a possessive Bratva heir, a heroine who refuses to be anyone's collateral, and a love that has to be chosen - not owned.
