I didn't ask for the shadows to find me. They did. right when I thought I was safe. And once they did, I knew there was no turning back. Carissa Elliott was tired of running. Tired of hiding. Tired of losing everyone she loved. Father, mother, roommate-taken by a man obsessed with claiming her. She swore she'd never belong to him. Never. A trip to Miami was supposed to be a brief escape. Instead, she fell into the arms of Alec McLean-dark, dangerous, haunted by his own ghosts.
A kingpin ruling with an iron fist and living under the weight of revenge. When a deadly attack forces her to run, she's thrust into the ruthless, shadowed depths of New York's underbelly. No matter how far she goes, she's bound-by blood, by fire, by unbreakable fate-to the man who once branded her with a single kiss. They're caught in a deadly game-where trust is a lie, power is a weapon, and love might be their only hope for survival. Can she outrun her past? Or are the monsters finally catching up?
