He was supposed to be the danger. Instead, he became the only place I was safe. I spend my life reading other people's numbers — the shell companies, the laundered invoices, the lies hidden in decimal points. I'm careful. Precise. I never miss a detail. I missed the one that mattered. The ledger I wasn't supposed to find leads straight to Voss Maritime and the man whose name is on every dock in the harbor. Alexander Voss is a legend — reclusive, ruthless, untouchable. Three days after I open that file, the person who gave it to me is dead, and I understand, too late, that I've made myself a loose end for people who don't leave loose ends. Then Alexander Voss finds me first. He says he's protecting me. He says the men hunting me answer to no one — not the police, not the law, not anyone but him. He takes me to an estate I can't leave, behind gates I don't have the code to, and tells me I'm safe now. I believe the safe part. I don't believe the rest. Because Alexander doesn't watch me like a man guarding an asset. He watches me like something he's already decided is his. And the longer I stay behind his walls, the harder it gets to remember which one of us is actually the prisoner — and which one of us doesn't want to leave.
