Does It Hurt?

A woman running from her past stumbles into the dangerous orbit of Enzo Vitale, a enigmatic man with secrets as deep as the ocean he loves—only to discover his invitation onto his boat comes with a hidden agenda. When a violent storm shipwrecks them on a remote island with nothing but an abandoned lighthouse for shelter, she finds herself trapped between a man who both despises and desires her, and something far more sinister lurking in the shadows. What unfolds is a taut, atmospheric tale of survival, redemption, and the question of whether love and vengeance can coexist in the same heart. If you crave dark, morally complex romance with high stakes and genuine peril, this one will keep you gripped from the first page to the last.
