Found in Eleven

Everyone warned Ivy Mercer that Roman Strake could not be found.

She finds him in eleven days.

He finds her in eleven minutes.

Ivy took the impossible job because ten thousand dollars could save her uncle's failing business. But the papers are forged, the binding hides a tracker, and the attorney who hired her is murdered. Suddenly Ivy is the unwitting path to Roman's most dangerous secret: an evidence archive capable of destroying the crisis empire that trained him.

Roman can keep her alive. His protection comes with surveillance, rules, and a talent for control. Ivy wants his control only behind closed doors. She will surrender when she chooses. She will not obey simply because he is feared.

As the hunt for the tracker's creator turns intimate, Roman's obsession becomes both shelter and threat. Then Ivy learns he watched all eleven days of her search-and used her to lure an enemy out of hiding.

Walking away may preserve her freedom.

If the enemy doesn't reach her family first.

Found in Eleven is Book One of The Strake Directive, a dark romantic-suspense series for adult readers.
