K C Blackwell: Escape, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Escape is a dark romantic thriller about survival, power, and the cost of devotion.

Seraphine Willowbrook has learned how to endure. Working nights at an exclusive underground club, she survives by keeping her head down, her walls high, and her emotions carefully locked away. The club is dangerous, but it's familiar-and familiarity feels safer than hope.

Kael Mercer is the man sent to clean up messes no one else can afford to touch. Controlled, methodical, and morally gray, he lives by rules forged through violence and restraint. He doesn't get involved. He doesn't hesitate. And he never lets himself care.

When Seraphine becomes collateral in a debt that was never hers to pay, her world collapses overnight. Betrayed and traded like property, she's forced into a fight for her autonomy while navigating a web of crime, control, and quiet cruelty. Kael is pulled into her orbit at the worst possible moment-when helping her could cost him everything he's worked to survive.

As danger closes in and loyalties fracture, both Seraphine and Kael are forced to confront the truths they've buried: what it means to choose someone, what it costs to protect them, and how far they're willing to go to escape the lives that were never meant to own them.

Gritty, emotional, and unapologetically intense, Escape is a story of reclaiming agency in a world built to take it-and of finding connection in the unlikeliest place, when running is no longer an option.
