She was looking for Greg.
Elara Vance walks into an exclusive Chicago restaurant on a rainy November evening, nervous, wearing borrowed shoes, searching for a blind date she's never met. She approaches the corner table. Asks the man sitting there if he's Greg.
He isn't.
Lucien Cross is a ruthlessly intelligent, devastatingly handsome billionaire who was planning to leave before she sat down. But when a lonely, beautiful stranger mistakes him for someone else, he makes a split-second decision: he lies. He plays the part. He pours the wine. He asks questions no first date should ask-and she answers every one.
By the time the check arrives, Lucien has already decided she's not going home.
She wakes in a penthouse sixty-two floors above the city. The doors are locked. The windows don't break. Her phone is gone. And the man who brought her there isn't hiding what he is-he's showing her, piece by piece, that the cage he built is more beautiful than anything she left behind.
What begins as captivity becomes something far more dangerous: a choice.
Because Elara isn't just fighting to escape. She's fighting the terrifying realization that she doesn't want to.
THE WRONG TABLE is a full-length dark psychological romance with an obsessive, morally gray hero and a captive heroine who discovers that the most dangerous prisons are the ones you choose to stay in. This book contains mature themes including psychological captivity, explicit content, power dynamics, and a dark happy for now ending. Intended for readers 18+.
