   Summary

   Set after the chaos of Red Eye, Lisa’s life is far from normal. When her father goes missing, Lisa does the unthinkable—she trades her life to get him back. But she never expected to end up on Jackson Rippner’s doorstep. With a complicated past and trust hanging by a thread, their dangerous game takes a twist—this time, it’s not just about survival, it’s about redemption, love, and facing the beast within. Theming off Beauty and the Beast, this story explores second chances, unexpected love, and a bond neither of them saw coming.
