STAY

Elena Carter has spent weeks running from Callan Russo.
Then a bullet puts him in a hospital bed, and for the first time, leaving is the last thing she wants.

While Callan lies unconscious, Elena stays beside him and tries to hold herself together as the men around him hunt for answers. His bodyguard and Enzo Castellano catch the man responsible for the attack, but what they learn only makes the situation worse. The shooter wasn’t after Callan.

He was trying to take Elena.

When Callan finally wakes, he finds the woman who once fought for every inch of distance between them still there. She stayed through the blood, the fear, and the chaos that followed him, and Callan understands exactly what that choice means.

Then he learns who ordered the abduction.

Julia Rossini in Detroit wants Elena because of something her older brother, now living in Switzerland, can give her. Julia has history with Callan, enough to make her involvement dangerous long before anyone understands what she is really after. Callan has no intention of letting Elena become leverage in someone else’s game. To find out why Julia wants her, he turns to Elena’s family and starts digging into secrets that were buried long before she ever crossed his path.

Elena once ran because staying with Callan scared her.
Now someone is trying to take that choice away from her completely.
This time, she already knows where she wants to be.

“You can run from fate, but not from me.”
— Callan Russo
