Coral And Captive

di Brea Holden (Autore)

Brea Holden, 2026

She came to expose a ghost. He made sure she could never leave. Sera 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. I was wrong. 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. 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. Beckett 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. Then the horizon turned black. 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. 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. From author Brea Holden comes a scorching, high-stakes dark romantic suspense standalone. Packed with intense psychological tension, forced proximity, and raw survival, Coral and Captive 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.
