BOUNTY LOVER
Thriller | Mystery | Romance | Action
Alara Vienne is the invisible girl no one notices-except Volker Thorne, her basketball-captain best friend and secret crush. At university, she hides behind sarcasm, hoodies, and good grades, trying to live a normal life.
But Alara has never been normal.
Trained since childhood in martial arts, weapons, and espionage, she's a ghost in plain sight-raised by elite parents who knew one day, the world would come hunting.
That day comes too soon.
When her mother exposes a billion-dollar corruption scandal, Alara becomes the target. Someone wants her silenced. Someone is watching her every move. And as she begins to fall for Volker, everything shatters-especially when he finds comfort in another girl the moment she disappears.
Heartbroken, hunted, and alone, Alara goes dark.
But in the shadows, one man never stopped watching.
He was sent to spy on her. The son of a feared underground leader. Rich, dangerous, and trained like her. But what began as surveillance... becomes protection. What started as a mission... becomes obsession. And what was supposed to be betrayal... becomes a war fought side by side.
Alara is no longer just a girl in hiding. She's a fighter with nothing left to lose-and a vow to protect the one man who saw her when no one else did.
Because sometimes, love doesn't come from the light.
Sometimes, it rises from the darkest place
