Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

She works the graveyard shift in a toll booth on the deadest stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Midnight to eight. Alone. The fluorescent lights buzz. The rain falls. And every night at exactly 3:00 AM, the same black car pulls into her lane.He never speaks. He pays with a twenty. His fingers brush hers through the three-inch gap.Rowan Kade is drowning - in debt, in exhaustion, in the slow, invisible erosion of a life no one is watching. She counts the hours. She endures the dark. She tells herself the man in the black car is just a commuter.Then her car dies in the empty lot. Her phone goes dark. And he's the only one waiting in the rain.Silas doesn't ask permission. He doesn't explain. He drives her away from everything she knows - the toll booth, the cold coffee, the fifty-yard walk across a dark parking lot - and into a world he built for her. A house behind a locked gate. Clothes in a closet that fit her body. A debt erased while she slept.He watched her for months. He learned her schedule, her habits, her breaking point. He cut the wire. He killed the phone. He dismantled her life piece by piece - and then offered himself as the only thing left standing.The doors are locked. The gate is sealed. And the most terrifying part isn't that she can't leave.It's that she doesn't want to.
