Does It Hurt?: An Enemies to Lovers Romance

A woman with a fragmented past—having fled her former life with nothing but the clothes on her back—has drifted through meaningless encounters until meeting Enzo Vitale, an enigmatic man obsessed with the ocean and its predators. She takes his name, but he lures her onto his boat seeking vengeance for a crime she committed. When a massive storm shipwrecks them, the two find themselves stranded in an abandoned lighthouse on a remote island. Enzo despises her yet is drawn to her, torn between wanting to hurt her and something deeper. But the island's old caretaker harbors intentions that may prove far more dangerous than Enzo's vendetta. Survival becomes the central question as the woman confronts not only her captor's conflicted desires but also a greater threat lurking in the isolation around them.
