Sanctum |18+

Everyone thinks Elena Rodriguez has the perfect life.

The daughter of a presidential frontrunner, she's spent twenty-two years smiling for cameras, attending galas, and living beneath the weight of a powerful family name.

But behind closed doors, Elena knows the truth.
Monsters don't always hide in the dark.

Sometimes they sit at the head of the dinner table.

When a vigilante organization known as the Fallen Angels launches an operation against one of the largest trafficking networks in the country, Elena and her cousin Maya become collateral damage.

Kidnapped and taken to a secret refuge called Sanctum, they're accused of crimes they didn't commit by the one man determined to destroy everything connected to the Rodriguez name.

Gabriel "Ghost" Cross has spent years hunting the people responsible for trafficking and murdering his sister.
Now he's finally found them.

Or so he thinks.

Cold, ruthless, and driven by vengeance, Ghost sees Elena as nothing more than the daughter of a monster. Elena sees him as exactly what she's always feared: another powerful man deciding her fate before hearing the truth.

For thirty-six hours, they wage war against each other.
Then Elena reveals a secret that changes everything.

Suddenly, Ghost is forced to confront a devastating reality.
The women he thought he captured may be the very people he should have saved.

As powerful enemies close in and buried secrets come to light, Elena and Ghost find themselves fighting the same battle from opposite sides. But trust doesn't come easy when your first meeting began with hatred.

And falling for the man who once considered you the enemy?

That might be the most dangerous mistake of all.

In a world built on lies, loyalty is earned, love is a risk, and some monsters wear the faces of heroes.
