Bobby "Barracuda" Bassano built an empire on loyalty, family, and a code that separates him from the monsters who prey on the innocent. Feared throughout Boston and respected by those who know the man beneath the legend, there is nothing he wouldn't do for the people he loves-especially his beautiful niece, Isabella. Kind-hearted and humble despite growing up in the shadow of power, Isabella Bassano spends her days helping others and avoiding the darker side of her uncle's world. But when someone begins watching her, following her, and leaving behind terrifying reminders that she is never truly alone, her life is turned upside down. Roman DeMarco, Bobby's fiercely loyal head of security, has spent years protecting Isabella from every threat except the one he never saw coming-his own heart. A former Marine Raider with scars both seen and unseen, Roman knows she is forbidden. She deserves someone better than a man whose life has been built on violence and secrets. But when obsession turns deadly and a trusted friend becomes a nightmare, Roman is forced to take Isabella into hiding deep in the wilderness of northern New York. As bullets fly and a madman closes in, Roman and Isabella discover that love can grow even in the darkest places. BUT SOME ENEMIES DON'T DIE QUIETLY. AND SOME PROMISES DEMAND IMPOSSIBLE SACRIFICES. In a world where loyalty is everything and family is worth killing for, Roman and Isabella will discover that love is the most dangerous thing of all. Where the River Hides is a gripping romantic suspense novel filled with heart-stopping danger, unforgettable characters, and a love powerful enough to survive the shadows. Perfect for readers who love fierce protectors, emotional family sagas, and stories where faith, loyalty, and redemption shine through the darkness.
