But one night changes everything.

At a seemingly harmless family gathering at Ethan's wealthy family villa, Lana witnesses something she was never meant to see. Something terrifying. Something that threatens to unravel the fragile world she's built.

Shaken and unsure of who to trust, she turns to Ethan-the only person who has ever truly protected her. He promises to help her, to stand beside her, to fight for the truth.

But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the silence becomes.

YOURS TO BLEED FOR - A Mystery Thriller Romance by OmotolaAledare

Sierra Whitmore was never meant to be anything more than a responsibility. At least, that's what Caleb told himself the night he took her in-traumatized, orphaned, and marked by the violence her father left behind. As the heir to a powerful security empire, Caleb vowed to protect her from everything. Even from himself. Years later, Sierra is no longer a fragile girl hiding behind locked doors. She's brilliant, brave, and heartbreakingly off-limits. And Caleb? He's still the man who would kill for her... but never touch her. When Sierra's estranged father resurfaces-deadlier than ever-Caleb's iron control begins to fracture. Because protecting her now means dragging her closer, not pushing her away. And Sierra is done pretending she doesn't want more than safety. She wants *him*. But loving her could destroy everything. And this time, Caleb may not be able to walk away. ---
