Her Name in Shadows (Kings of Blood and Shadow #3)

Her job is to uncover the truth.

His job was to make certain she never lived long enough to reveal it.

Forensic accountant Nora Quinn knows how criminals hide money. She knows how to follow false invoices, buried payments, and numbers designed to make murder look like ordinary business.

But nothing prepares her for the final entry in the Bellandi family’s secret ledger.

Her own name.

Her address.

A payment for her death.

And beside it, the name of the man assigned to make her disappear.

Rafe Bellandi has watched Nora for months.

He knows the train she takes to work. The nights she stays late. The way she checks a locked door twice. He was sent to discover whether she could be bought, frightened, or permanently removed.

Instead, his surveillance became an obsession he could no longer control.

When a second execution team moves against her, Rafe betrays the criminal family that raised him and takes Nora into hiding. He claims it is protection.

Nora knows captivity when she sees it.

Trapped with the dangerous man who knows every detail of her life, she refuses to become a helpless witness in her own story. The evidence in her possession could destroy a powerful criminal empire—but only if she survives long enough to expose it.

Every secret Rafe reveals gives Nora another reason to fear him.

Every choice he gives back makes it harder to hate him.

And every enemy closing in forces them deeper into a dangerous alliance where obsession begins to resemble devotion, protection becomes possession, and desire could be the most dangerous evidence of all.

Rafe will destroy his family to keep her alive.

But if he wants a future with Nora, he must do the one thing no Bellandi man has ever been taught to do:

Let her choose him.
