About this book

Sarah Patrick and her gifted golden retriever, Monty, are forced into a dangerous rescue mission in Colombia by billionaire John Logan—a man she absolutely doesn't trust, especially when the mission leaves Monty wounded and her trapped at his isolated cabin. As they heal together and the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore, Sarah discovers that Logan's refusal to leave has nothing to do with his own injuries and everything to do with a ruthless killer who now has her in his sights. Caught between passion and danger, Sarah must decide what she's willing to risk when a vengeful enemy closes in and Logan will stop at nothing to protect her. It's a thrilling blend of heart-pounding suspense and the kind of romance that sneaks up on you when you're not looking.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
tensemagneticbroodingyearningdangerous

Tense, intimate indie-rock and sultry R&B for forced proximity and slow-burn chemistry. Think dark atmospheric synths mixed with vulnerable acoustic moments—brooding yet electric, like danger and desire colliding in isolation. Artists like Phoebe Bridgers, The National, SZA.
