Bound by the Storm: A Dark Romantic Suspense Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180604521)

A storm is coming for Storme Bay. So is the truth.

Forensic insurance investigator Elena Vale arrives at The Storme House to audit a suspicious death payout and storm-damage claim tied to the death of her former mentor. The official report says Graham Vale died in a tragic accident during a coastal storm. Elena knows accidents leave patterns. This one leaves lies.

Adrian Storme, the controlled and seductive CEO of the luxury hotel empire, should be her prime suspect. He controls the records, the staff, the security footage, and the family name powerful enough to make consequences disappear. But Adrian has never believed the official story either. He thinks someone in his own family caused Graham's death, and Elena may be the only person dangerous enough to prove it.

When a new storm traps them inside the hotel with corrupted files, locked corridors, missing footage, and someone willing to kill again, suspicion turns into an alliance neither of them can afford. Desire becomes leverage. Trust becomes evidence. And every secret they uncover pulls them deeper into a dynasty built on polished glass, saltwater, and silence.

Bound by the Storm is a high-heat dark romantic suspense novel featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, a morally gray hotel CEO, a relentless investigator heroine, family secrets, luxury coastal danger, and a complete romantic ending with a continuing series mystery.
