Hostage to Desire

Desire was a dangerous thing.
It burned hotter than fear, sharper than pain, and once it sank its claws in, there was no escape.

Cara never meant to cross into his world. She was supposed to be nothing more than a body under the spotlight, a pair of clever eyes that saw too much but spoke too little. An ordinary woman, surviving one night at a time.

And Ellis-he was supposed to remain a shadow. A mask. A name whispered in back rooms and back alleys, feared but never touched.

But some fires can't be contained.

When her path collided with his, she should have run. Instead, she found herself trapped in a game of power and obsession, one that neither of them could win without losing everything.

He told her she belonged to him.
She swore she'd never bow.

And yet, night after night, fight after fight, the line between hatred and hunger blurred-until desire became the very chain that bound them both.

This is not really a love story.
It's a story of captivity, temptation, and surrender.

It's the story of how Cara became hostage to submitting to desire.
