The Wolves of Vesper Bay

By Rose Marlowe

Kyle Lopez has spent years paying an impossible debt to the Varela crime family. Every payment keeps eleven people he once helped escape alive.

Then the debt disappears from the Varelas' books. Kyle is not free. Evan Nova bought the note.

Evan survived the attack that killed his family twelve years ago, and he believes Kyle helped commit it. He offers Kyle six jobs for a clean release. Kyle has the underworld knowledge Evan needs to dismantle the Varelas. Evan has the money, witnesses, and rage to decide whether Kyle deserves another chance.

The contract begins as revenge, but the truth beneath it is not simple. Kyle was there the night Evan's family died. He also opened the locked door that let Evan escape. Evan remembers the violence, but not the masked man who gave him the key.

When Evan finally learns the truth, he has to face the damage done by his own silence. A debt can be erased on paper. Trust has to be earned after the leverage is gone.

A dark M/M debt and crime romance featuring a revenge contract, port-city noir, forced proximity, survivor-centered suspense, morally gray heroes, and a hard-won happy ending.

Intended for mature readers 18+. Contains adult sexual content, debt bondage, trafficking as an antagonist crime, survivor exploitation, family murder, coercion, violence, captivity, and trauma.
