She came as collateral. She stayed by choice.

When Maya Voss's brother gambles away a debt he can't repay, she offers herself in his place ? ninety days in the crumbling estate of Cassian Vael, a scarred mob enforcer who deals in debts and shadows. The arrangement is simple. The boundaries are clear. Neither of them will survive them intact.

Cassian isn't what she expected. The monster in the dark turns out to be a man who reads poetry, keeps his dead sister's photographs, and fights a heavy bag at three in the morning because sleep stopped coming twelve years ago, in a building that burned with him inside it.

Maya isn't what he expected either.

As a coup builds inside Cassian's organization and an enemy closes in on the estate, the line between captive and ally dissolves. Between dinner silences and library evenings and a corridor flooded at two in the morning, something neither of them planned for takes root in the ruins of their arrangement.

When the countdown ends, the debt will be settled. But some things accumulate interest no contract can clear.

Ninety Days is a slow-burn dark romance featuring a Beauty and the Beast reimagining set in a gritty criminal underworld, enemies-to-allies tension, a morally complex hero, and a heroine who saves herself ? and him.
