Catalyna Jade has spent most of her life underneath her father's control. Being Damien Jade's daughter came with money and protection, but rarely the freedom to make her own choices. Especially when it came to marriage. At twenty-one, Catalyna learns she's expected to marry twenty-five-year-old Braxton Millien Kanu-a quiet, possessive, and dangerous man deeply involved in the same world her father tried to shelter her from. Neither of them chose the arrangement, and Catalyna has no intentions of making it easy. But somewhere between arguments, family secrets, dangerous business, and wedding plans, their arrangement slowly becomes something neither of them expected. They were told to get married. Nobody told them what would happen if they actually fell in love.

In Without Warning, healing is the journey neither of them expected. Amina is sweet, soft, and tired of being hurt. Elias is cold, distant, and convinced he's better off alone. Both scarred by their pasts. Both afraid to trust again. But God has a way of placing exactly who you need right in front of you-even when you swear you don't want them. Thrown together without warning, Amina and Elias are forced to confront their pain, their faith, and each other. What begins as tension slowly shifts into something real, something healing, something they never saw coming. Sometimes love doesn't arrive gently. Sometimes it arrives as the very person who challenges you to finally grow.
