He was supposed to drag me back to my nightmare. Instead, he became it.

My father sold me to a monster, a man who buried his last wife in fear and broken bones. So I ran. And I used the one weapon I had, my father's most lethal enforcer.

Alec.

I thought seducing him would buy me freedom. One stolen night, one moment of weakness. But I underestimated him. He's hunting me across Spain now, and every burned car, every slashed tyre, every hotel room we're forced to share pulls us deeper into something neither of us can name.

He says he's taking me back.

But his hands linger too long. His jealousy burns too hot. And the way he looks at me? Like I'm already his.

The cage I'm running from is deadly. But so is the man chasing me.

Dark Escapes is a scorching enemies-to-lovers mafia romance featuring forced proximity, possessive obsession, and a morally grey enforcer who'll burn the world down before he lets anyone else touch what he wants. This is a standalone in the McGowan Mafia series, no cliffhangers, just heat and suspense.
