Dr. Elara Voss has spent her career inside the minds of killers. As a criminal psychologist, she prides herself on recognizing patterns of obsession, control, and desire long before they spiral into violence. But when a single red tulip appears in her apartment-followed by another, and another-Elara finds herself caught in a game she cannot profile her way out of. Someone is watching her. Someone who knows her secrets, her habits, her fears. Someone patient enough to leave no trace except flowers and a thread of white. When a chance encounter at a café introduces her to a man unlike any she has ever met-charismatic, commanding, and far too interested-Elara doesn't realize she has stepped into the very shadow she's been chasing. He is not just a stranger. He is the Don of a ruthless empire, and he has already claimed her in silence. Drawn into his world of power and danger, Elara struggles to tell the difference between fear and fascination, predator and protector.
