Behind closed doors, some secrets are paid for in bruises. Others in blood.
To the outside world, Elara Cross has the perfect life. Her husband, Adrian, is powerful, respected, and admired. But behind closed doors, his control is absolute, and every day becomes another fight to survive.
When Mara Quinn is assigned as Elara's personal bodyguard, she expects to protect her client—not to become the one person who makes Elara feel safe. As trust grows into something neither woman can ignore, the line between duty and desire begins to blur.
But some choices can never be undone.
One desperate night changes everything, leaving Elara and Mara trapped between truth, loyalty, and the devastating consequences of a single act. With freedom finally within reach, they'll have to decide how much they're willing to sacrifice—and whether love is worth the price.
ALIBI is a slow-burn romantic suspense novel about survival, forbidden love, sacrifice, and the courage to choose freedom when everything is at stake.
