Secrets in the Oasis: A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance

I thought I was hunting a monster. I didn’t realize he was hunting me.

Zelda Estrada is a relentless investigative journalist. She doesn't back down, and she certainly doesn't surrender. But when a massive leak promises to expose the dark underbelly of a global tech empire, Zelda walks right into a meticulously designed trap. Betrayed by the mentor she trusted and sold to a cartel for five million dollars, her life is effectively over.

Until he steps in.

Samson Jimenez. Billionaire. Warlord. Architect of a global logistics empire.

He didn’t just buy her assassination contract to save her life—he bought it to own her.

Now, Zelda is a prisoner in the Glass Oasis, a breathtaking, billion-dollar fortress isolated in the lethal heart of the Rub' al Khali desert. Samson offers her absolute protection from the world that threw her away, but his sanctuary comes with one terrifying her total, unquestioning submission.

He is cold, calculating, and unapologetically ruthless. He stripped away her freedom, her career, and her reality. But the longer Zelda is trapped in the desert with her captor, the more the lines between hatred and desire begin to blur. Samson is a sociopath who orchestrated her ruin, but when the heavily armed shadows of her past come to claim her, he is the only man willing to burn the world to the ground to keep her safe.

She should want to escape. But what happens when the captive falls in love with the cage?
