About this audiobook
Zaira Lauron once walked into a cafe because she couldn't sleep, and one conversation with Adrien Cole decided the rest of her life. Now a courier leaves a cream place card on her step with her name written across it, and the chair a table of patient people offered her in Marseille is still waiting. Veronique Sarde never raises her voice. She offers a meeting in daylight, with nothing owed either way. Zaira goes alone, tells no one, and says no. Nothing happens. That is the threat. Then the kindness starts. A good job for a frightened man. A surgeon for a ruined hand. A fair price for a burnt-out shop. Every offer is real, and every one of them is a hinge on a door Zaira swore she had locked. Nobody wins this with a gun. They win it by refusing, in front of witnesses, to be alone. Erotic thriller. Explicit throughout, with graphic violence. Adults only.
