Desert's Edge

Maya Sandoval has seventy-two hours to disappear after witnessing a cartel execution. Desperate to cross the Sonoran Desert, she pays a mysterious guide named Silas Cain to lead her to safety.

But Silas destroys her GPS, empties her water into the sand, and takes her somewhere no one will ever find her.

Deep inside a hidden canyon, Maya discovers a locked shelter, a precious underground spring, and a man who controls every drop of water she needs to survive.

Silas never raises his voice. He doesn't have to. In the brutal desert heat, obedience becomes a matter of survival, and Maya finds herself drawn to the very man keeping her captive.

Then the cartel tracks them to the canyon, forcing Maya to confront what Silas has been hiding and why he brought her there.

A dark survival romance about captivity, obsession, and desire under the harshest conditions. For mature readers.
