Undertow Sins Coral And Captive, Book 5, (Paperback)

<p><strong>She came to expose a ghost. He made sure she could never leave.</strong></p><p><strong>Sera</strong> Six months of chasing dead ends, redacted files, and anonymous tips led me to this nameless, scorching reef in the middle of the Caribbean. I was looking for Beckett Lowe-a brilliant financial weapon who destroyed a cartel, faked his death, and vanished into thin air. I thought a major journalistic exposé would be my shield.</p><p>I was wrong.</p><p>The second my boat hits his dock, the trap springs. Beckett doesn't run; he strands me. He cuts my fuel line and takes my shoes, leaving me barefoot on a razor-sharp coral island. He draws lines in the concrete floor of his shifting tin shack, tracking my every movement and breath. I am his captive, locked in a brutal battle of wits and psychological control.</p><p>But the real nightmare begins when we realize I was used as bait. My arrival triggered a dynamic $5.5 million assassination contract, and the hunters are already closing in.</p><p><strong>Beckett</strong> For six years, the quiet reef was my self-imposed prison, the only atonement for the dark machine I helped build. Then Séraphine Noël arrived, speaking my dead name and breaking my calibrated silence. I couldn't let her leave with my face, so I took her mobility.</p><p>Then the horizon turned black.</p><p>A catastrophic hurricane is swallowing the atoll, obliterating my refuge. Forced into a sinking skiff, tied sternum to sternum to survive the raging swells, the lines between captor and captive wash away in the storm.</p><p>To survive the ocean and the cartel professionals on our trail, we have only one weapon left: Sera's unredacted story. We must reach land and publish the truth before the dark consumes us both-because dead witnesses are loose ends, but a global headline makes us too expensive to kill.</p><p>From author Brea Holden comes a scorching, high-stakes dark romantic suspense standalone. Packed with intense psychological tension, forced proximity, and raw survival, <strong>Coral and Captive</strong> is a journey into an unforgiving world where the most dangerous place isn't the ocean-it's the arms of the man who won't let you drown.</p>
