Finding Adelaide

Adelaide Ramos has never belonged.

Not in her own house, where bruises bloom easier than smiles. Not with her twin sister, who takes delight in tearing her down. And not in the world beyond, where her bubbly chatter is met with rolled eyes and cold shoulders. She's the kind of girl people forget-until she makes a mistake big enough to remember.

But then she meets him.

Cassian Dunne built his empire on shadows. With a past carved out of pain and a business that does what the FBI can't (and won't admit exists), he learned early that attachments are dangerous. Cold, ruthless, untouchable-he's made an art out of keeping people at a distance.

Until her.

He should stay away from Adelaide. She's too innocent, too bright, too tied to a family name he despises. Yet the moment he sees her, something inside him shifts. No matter how hard he fights it, no matter how many times he tells himself she's trouble-he can't stop chasing the girl who's been unwanted her whole life.

And Adelaide? For the first time, she doesn't feel unwanted at all.
