Tide and Torment

Rising Miami law associate Lennox Cates travels to a remote private island in the Florida Keys to serve a grand jury subpoena to Caspian Deveraux, a reclusive man gathering evidence to destroy his late father's criminal empire. When a catastrophic Category 4 hurricane makes direct landfall, Caspian locks down his concrete villa to survive the violent storm, trapping Lennox inside with him. Cut off from civilization, their professional defenses dissolve into an intense and toxic attraction. While trapped, Lennox discovers Caspian's forensic war room and uncovers a devastating truth: her own law firm orchestrated the illegal empire and the exact offshore shipping routes that caused the maritime tragedy that killed her father. Bound by secrets and grief, the captive and her captor forge a ruthless alliance, turning Lennox from a lawyer serving a subpoena into a woman building an airtight prosecution to destroy the men who used her.
