   Summary

   What's in a name? For A'isha, a lot of trouble. As the niece of a prolific police detective, knowing Marik's name makes her a loose end with legs, landing her and her cousin Amara in the grasp of the Rare Hunters' notorious leader. Trapped on his ship, she must guard her heart, protect Amara, and outsmart a man who's about as smart as they come.

   On the flip side, Marik finds himself caught in his own snare. A’isha isn’t just a captive; she’s a challenge he can’t resist. As he balances his ambitions to free his family with unexpected feelings for her, he discovers a new kind of freedom - one only she can give him.
