Captor: A Dark Stalker Captive Contemporary Romance Book 2 (From the Dark Series)

CAPTIVE HEROINE · OBSESSED CAPTOR · ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS WITH A BODY BETWEEN THEM

Beck Merrick saw through my cover and took me captive. The most dangerous thing he stole was my desire to escape.

I came to infiltrate his empire. He knew I was a spy before I ever sat down for the interview. He hired me anyway.

I’m a forensic accountant with a manufactured history, a dangerous handler, and one private objective: find out what happened to my brother. Three years ago, Ronan followed a trail through Merrick Ventures and disappeared. Now I’m inside the same company, auditing the same books, sleeping beneath the roof of the man who may know why.

Beck moves the audit to his family’s isolated estate, where the only road vanishes beneath the tide twice a day. My keys disappear into his security office. My phone routes through his network. Cameras track me. He shows me every bar of the cage with unnerving honesty, then leaves the door unlocked and waits to see if I’ll run.

I should. Instead, I keep testing his control just to feel him tighten it.

Beck is ruthless, possessive, and willing to destroy anyone who threatens me — then sets a plate in front of me when I forget to eat, in the same calm voice he uses to tell me which doors I’m allowed to open.

But the numbers lead somewhere worse than fraud. Ronan’s disappearance is tied to Beck’s family, my own, and a firm powerful enough to erase us both. Someone inside it already knows who I am. Someone has already decided I should disappear like my brother did.

And when the tide takes my last escape, the only man standing between me and a grave is the captor I no longer want to leave.
