The Devil's Safehouse: A Dark Billionaire Captive-Proximity Romance

Sloane Mercer has spent her career proving that powerful men cannot call control protection and expect everyone else to accept the difference. Then Port Seven goes dark. A Janus target list names six women connected to the men who dismantled the Consortium - and Sloane is one of them. Billionaire shipping magnate Dante Reyes can move people through routes governments never see, but the only place he believes he can keep Sloane alive is an island safehouse built by the same private network she does not trust. Sloane agrees on one condition: protection will have rules. Her passport stays hers. Her devices stay hers. Every exit remains visible. Dante does not get to turn fear into ownership. Forced into close quarters while they trace the last Warden channels, attraction becomes the one risk neither of them can route around. But Dante has spent his life making brutal choices before anyone else can object - and when he secretly trades a rival's location to buy Sloane time, he proves her worst fear about him right. To earn another chance, Dante must do more than save her. He must expose the shadow routes that built his empire, surrender authority over the safehouse network, and accept consequences that money cannot erase. Because the final Janus key is still moving. And the trail now leads to the Sable crown. The Devil's Safehouse is Book Five of The Sable Consortium, an interconnected dark billionaire romantic-suspense series. It features forced proximity, a powerful logistics billionaire, a fiercely independent heroine, explicit consent, corporate conspiracy, high-stakes protection, and a complete romantic HEA while advancing the series mystery.
