⛓️ CHASING CHAOS ⛓️
"I was the Capitol's golden daughter. Now, I'm the girl who knows too much. And in my father's world, witnesses don't get a happy ending-they get a shallow grave."
Elara Sterling lived a life of silk, champagne, and curated lies. As the Senator's perfect daughter, she was the ultimate political pawn. But when she witnesses a cold-blooded execution sanctioned by her own father, the golden cage shatters.
To survive, she has to run. To run, she needs a monster.
Enter Julian. They call him The Ghost. A high-priced mercenary with blood on his hands and a void where his heart should be. He doesn't do rescues, and he definitely doesn't do "damsels." He settles debts.
Julian agrees to disappear her, but his protection comes at a price. As they flee from the glittering lights of the city into the dark, rain-soaked wilderness, Elara realizes the man protecting her might be more dangerous than the men hunting her.
In the suffocating proximity of safe houses and stolen cars, the line between fear and desire begins to bleed. Elara is learning to handle a gun, but Julian is the real weapon-and she's starting to want him to fire.
The rules are simple:
Don't look back.
Don't ask questions.
Don't fall for the man who was hired to bury you.
