Sebastian and Chloe
Chole has never known peace. Haunted by the trauma of a broken childhood and trapped in a cycle of fear caused by her abusive ex-boyfriend Jake, sheâs been living like a ghostâconstantly on the run, changing cities, names, and dreams. New York is her seventh stop, and she knows it wonât be the last.
But fate has other plans.
On a cold night when Chole is nearly dragged into a dark alley by the man sheâs been hiding from, sheâs rescued by a mysterious strangerâSabastain. Heâs a Greek businessman with a guarded past and eyes that see more than sheâs willing to reveal. For the first time in years, Chole wakes up safe⊠in a place that smells like warmth instead of fear.
As she recovers in Sabastainâs luxurious home, trying to piece together what happened, she finds herself drawn not just to the man who saved herâbut to the family that surrounds him. With every quiet moment and unexpected laugh, the walls she built begin to crack.
But safety is fleeting, and trust is dangerous.
Because Jake isnât done.
And neither is the truth.
As Chole and Sabastainâs worlds collide, theyâll both have to confront what it means to fight for something real. For Chole, that might mean standing still long enough to love again. And for Sabastain⊠it might mean risking everything to protect the one woman who finally made him feel again.
