Beneath the Iron Shore

Nadia Karam maps coastlines for a living. She never expected to be mapped herself — until the Vlorë syndicate seizes her survey boat and locks her in the chart room of a rusting ferry with Enver Dushku, the man they send when they want something drawn a certain way. Eleven days. One storm. One man who brings her coffee before he brings her threats. Enver has his own reason for keeping the family's routes crooked, and it has nothing to do with the don. Every chart Nadia redraws pulls his brother further from the water. Every night they spend arguing over the same table pulls her further from the life she planned. When the order comes down to end her, Enver has one move left — and it costs him everything but her.
