A vanished soul. A city tangled in shadows. A forbidden attraction that could burn everything down. In New Orleans, a secret network of blackmail and betrayal coils through nightclubs, courthouses, and rain-soaked streets. Its reach extends from corporate towers to police corridors, leaving no sanctuary untouched. Into this darkness steps a truth-hunter-unyielding, relentless, and unwilling to stop until the hidden corruption is dragged into daylight.
Standing against them is a man bound to the very syndicate they are trying to expose, a figure trained to erase evidence and silence threats. Their worlds collide in a storm of suspicion and sparks. Every clash pushes them closer to the line where hate becomes hunger. What begins as rivalry twists into dangerous intimacy. Breathless encounters in alleys, stairwells, and rooftops blur the boundaries between survival and desire.
The heat builds-sometimes tender, sometimes rough, always charged with risk. Each touch is a confession, each kiss a betrayal, each escape a reminder that trust is the most perilous gamble of all. But the clock is ticking. Warrants are coming, secrets are unraveling, and the network known as Nightbraid is poised to ignite or collapse. In a cemetery drenched in rain and on rooftops lit by flashing drones, every choice carries weight: loyalty or freedom, silence or revelation, survival or surrender.
Suspense coils with sensuality in a high-voltage story that blends enemies-to-lovers passion with the pulse of a thriller. Betrayal, chase, and courtroom stakes entwine with quickened breath and whispered promises. And when the fires of conspiracy are finally torched, one vow remains-spoken beneath the storm, fragile yet fierce: a promise under rain. For readers who crave explosive chemistry, cinematic action, and the raw intensity of love forged in danger, this novel delivers a ride as relentless as it is unforgettable.---
