Detective Elora Monroe believes in three things: justice, independence, and trusting her instincts. But none of that prepares her for the shock of an arranged marriage-a decision she agrees to only out of family obligation, not affection.
Her new husband, Adrian Voss, is calm, intelligent, and frustratingly private. A respected trauma surgeon with impeccable credentials, he seems perfect on paper. Too perfect.
As Elora dives deeper into the cold case that has haunted her for years-a series of disappearances tied to a covert medical operation-new evidence points her in an unthinkable direction: toward the man she just married.
Torn between duty and desire, Elora must unravel the truth without losing her badge, her mind, or her heart. Because in a city where everyone wears a mask, even love can be a crime scene.

Tulips in the dark
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. The deeper she investigates, the more her own mind betrays her-because what terrifies her most is not that he's watching... but that she wants him to.
