Adaline
I built my career uncovering financial lies powerful men buried under polished suits and political favors.
Following the Serrano Coalition’s money trail was supposed to expose corruption, not drag me into the center of a criminal empire.
Then I met Ray Travis.
Cold. Calculating. The heir to a dynasty that rules the coast through fear and loyalty.

Instead, he kept me close.
He says it’s strategy.
A witness is easier to control if she stays where he can see her.
But every secret I uncover ties my past to his world in ways neither of us expected.
And the way he watches me now?
That’s not control.
That’s possession.
