Cornered in a deadly game of cat and mouse where trust is something she cannot afford, Elara has to cope with Julian's dark charm and the intense, hot chemistry igniting between them. As lunar nights reveal unexpected vulnerabilities and shared histories, Elara is faced with a shocking truth: Julian Thorne is not only a cunning billionaire but also the very man who holds the secrets to unravelling her own death and, perhaps, to a destiny that unites them under the moon's eternally watchful eye.
