Halsey Josephine: The Patron Saint of Drowning, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

River Jacobs boarded a stranger's yacht because one night off the coast of Maine was cold enough to make survival more important than caution.

She expected to be gone before morning.

Instead, the yacht left the harbor with River hidden below deck, a knife in her hand, and its owner standing between her and the only exit.

Kieran Blackwell is heir to a fortune built on generations of buried secrets and a bloodline gifted with impossible power. He can command the weather itself. And within an hour of finding River aboard the Firefly, he has already decided one thing:

No one will hurt her again.

The problem is, Kieran has never been particularly interested in asking permission.

He gives River keys while quietly closing doors around her. He offers choices after deciding which ones are safe enough to exist. He tells her the truth in carefully measured pieces and calls it protection when fear turns his control into something harder to escape.

River knows what it looks like when a man mistakes possession for love.

She sees exactly what Kieran is becoming.

And she wants him anyway.

But the Blackwells have spent generations turning love, power, blood, and loyalty into weapons, and the deeper River is pulled into their world, the clearer it becomes that Kieran may not be the most dangerous secret his family has buried.

Some men will drag you under.

Others will drown the whole world to keep you.
