She was supposed to vanish. Instead, she was taken.

Beth Vermont planned to disappear on her own terms. But when she's dragged into Eli O'Falon's world, she expects another cage?another man who thinks he owns her.

She doesn't expect him.

Eli rules with ruthless control. Yet the moment Beth lands in his arms, something fractures inside him. She isn't leverage. She isn't weakness.

She becomes gravity.

Their connection builds slowly?carefully?layered with trust, consent, and a dark intensity that won't let go. But the people who hurt Beth aren't finished.

And Eli doesn't forgive threats.

Not to his empire.
Not to the woman who finally feels safe being seen.
