For Adriane Graham, the real question comes down to this: "Am I Alec Kaden's guest...Or his prisoner?"
If she's a guest in the Kaden mansion, then it means Alec has freed himself from his family ties to organized crime. It means he's telling the truth when he says he's protecting Adriane from dangerous men and they can shake off the shackles of haunted pasts.
...But...
If Adriane Graham is Alec Kaden's prisoner, it means his tenderness is simply a ruse to keep her under control; his kindness is just poisoned hypocrisy. It means Alec is a cruel liar, and that somehow, by some desperate way, she's got to get out of this charming man's well-guarded house before it's too late.
Is she Alec's treasured guest? Or merely a pretty bird, trapped in his gilded cage? The troubling questions pour like fountains...flowing...
Endless as the Rain.
