The Witness Who Couldn't Escape Him
They call it protective custody. She calls it a cage.
For six months, Isabelle Gray has been hidden away in a safe house with nothing but her guilt and her fear. She witnessed a mafia execution. She identified the killer. She agreed to testify and bring down the Russo family's entire operation.
She thought she was safe.
Then Officer Marco Russo arrives to guard her.
The same Marco Russo whose face she saw that night in the warehouse. The same man she identified in a police lineup. The same man whose family has a price on her head.
Except Marco isn't a cop protecting her from the mafia. He's the heir to the Russo empire, playing law enforcement to get close to her. To keep her quiet. To make sure she never reaches the witness stand.
But Marco has a problem. He's supposed to be her jailer. Instead, he's becoming her addiction. He's supposed to keep her isolated. Instead, he's making her feel alive for the first time in months. He's supposed to be the enemy.
Instead, he's the only person she trusts.
When the trial date arrives and the mafia escalates their threats, Marco faces an impossible choice. Hand Isabelle over to his family and cement his place as the next Russo boss, or betray everything and everyone he's sworn to protect.
She knows his secrets. He knows her weaknesses. Neither can survive this world alone.
But together? Together they might burn it all down.
