Ophelia

Camille Rousseau only agreed to one dinner.

A French student at Columbia University, bright, deeply faithful, and counting the months until she can return home to Lyon, she believes she is in control. A few dinners in exchange for money. Nothing more.

Dimitri Sokolov has never learned how to let go.

Powerful, wealthy, and feared, he has built his life on control. In his world, everything has a price-and everything he wants eventually becomes his.

Until he meets Camille.

She is warm where he is cold, honest where he is guarded, and untouched by the power that bends everyone else around him. For the first time in years, Dimitri wants something he cannot buy.

When Camille tells him she is leaving New York City and returning to France, Dimitri makes a choice that changes both of their lives forever.

He takes her.

Trapped in a luxurious penthouse high above the city, Camille must fight to hold on to her faith, her identity, and the memory of the life waiting for her beyond locked doors.

But the most dangerous prisons are not always built with walls.

And the most devastating love stories are the ones that should never have begun.
