Locked in a brutal cellar and treated like she doesn’t belong to the living, Kelly survives on fear, silence, and the hope that someone will finally come for her. That someone is Drake Blackwood, the dangerous man who steps between her and the people trying to break her. What begins as rescue turns into something darker and more intimate as protection becomes obsession, fear turns into dangerous desire, and Kelly finds herself drawn to the only man ruthless enough to keep her alive. But love is not the only thing closing in around them. Enemies are still watching, loyalties are cracking, and every promise of safety comes with a price. Just when Kelly seems closest to choosing Drake completely, the final crisis tears everything open. And as she faces what may be her last moment, one question remains: is Drake really gone?
