Sheltering Serenity
(2026)(The third book in the H.A.V.E.N. Hidden Ally Vigilante Extraction Network series)
A novel by Kesandra Wick
Her: He used to be the kind of monster who put me in that cage.
Him: She's right. And she's the reason I'll never be that man again.
Serenity: Three weeks locked in a luxury penthouse. Trafficked. Displayed. Auctioned. I'm a dancer from Atlanta, and they tried to turn my body into a product.
Then a tattooed Russian with haunted eyes whispers that he's getting me out.
The rescue fails and we end up hiding in a Little Havana safe house. One bed. He takes the floor. Cooks me breakfast. Stands guard like it's the only prayer he knows.
I should hate him for what he was. Instead I watch him try to become something else, and my heart won't stop reaching.
Dimi: I walked away from the Bratva five years ago. Doesn't matter. The guilt followed.
Then I'm sent to extract a dancer who refuses to break, and suddenly I'm cooking eggs in a dead man's apartment wondering how a woman I caged myself to protect is making me feel human again. She traces my tattoos without flinching. Dances in the dark like she's rewriting the world.
I was supposed to shelter her. She's sheltering me.
