About this story
Maren Ellis wakes at 2:17 a.m. in a stranger’s heavily guarded house with no memory of how she got there—and a bedroom door that refuses to open. Her first thought is simple. She has been kidnapped. Then she discovers the lock isn’t meant to keep her inside. It is meant to keep someone else out. Cillian Rook is everything Maren should run from: wealthy, ruthless, dangerously controlled, and far too interested in a woman he claims he barely knows. He watches everything. Remembers everything. Knows when she is lying, when she is frightened, and sometimes what she needs before she does. And when Maren demands to go home, Cillian gives her the one answer she hates most. “You can leave. I just can’t promise they won’t find you.” Because the attack that brought her into his house was no accident. Someone wants Maren silenced. Worse, Cillian may know why. As locked rooms begin opening and buried secrets connect Maren’s father to one of the most powerful families in the city, she discovers that Cillian’s obsession with protecting her began long before the night they supposedly met. Now Maren has to decide which frightens her more—the people hunting her, or the man willing to destroy anyone who touches her. Cillian calls it protection. Maren calls it control. But somewhere between forbidden doors, whispered threats, brutal jealousy, and the terrifying tenderness he shows only to her, the line between captivity and belonging begins to blur. Because Cillian Rook wants her. Desperately. Possessively. Enough to lock the entire world outside if that is what it takes to keep her safe. But if he truly loves her, he will eventually have to learn the one thing that terrifies him most: A woman who is free to leave can only become his if she chooses to stay.
