Ruthless Shadow: His Darkness Was the Only Place She Felt Safe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798176562057)

Isla never meant to find the missing millions. Now a cartel wants her dead.

Isla is a forensic accountant who plays by the absolute rules. Roan is the underworld's most efficient cleaner. When her latest corporate audit accidentally uncovers a massive laundering operation, the syndicate sends their deadliest man to erase the evidence entirely.

Instead of pulling the trigger, Roan takes her hostage.

To keep her breathing, Roan orchestrates a hostile corporate takeover disguised as an arranged marriage. Isla is thrust immediately into a brutal world of extreme surveillance and preemptive strikes. Her lethal new husband is emotionally detached, calculating, and completely ruthless. Yet every atrocity he commits is explicitly designed to keep her safe.

The lines between captive and wife begin to blur as his cold exterior cracks under the weight of genuine obsession. Roan will burn his entire syndicate to the ground to protect her, but surviving his darkness might cost Isla her soul.
