For fourteen months, Sage lived between two dangerous men.
Marek gave her a job, a place to stay, and a position inside his nightclub—then made sure she understood that nothing he gave her came without a claim attached.
Detective Nash gave her a different kind of choice: become his confidential informant or face the charges waiting for her. For more than a year, he watched her, protected her, used her, and wanted her while pretending the last part wasn't true.
Then the raid fails.
Marek disappears before the police arrive, Sage is officially released from the case, and Nash finally crosses the line he's spent fourteen months refusing to cross.
But closing a file doesn't make Sage safe.
Marek still knows where she sleeps. Nash knows she's hiding something about the night of the raid. And Sage knows exactly why Marek had enough warning to walk away.
As protection turns dangerously close to possession and old loyalties come back demanding payment, Sage finds herself trapped between a criminal who refuses to let her go and a detective who is discovering just how far he'll go to keep her.
This time, Sage intends to decide for herself who—if anyone—gets to claim her.
A dark romantic suspense novel filled with obsession, dangerous power dynamics, morally gray characters, criminal intrigue, and intense adult passion.
