The Isolation Variable

He owns the yacht. She commands the ship. But when a citywide lockdown traps them together, who is really in control?

Sloane Harper has one rule: Never let them see you bleed. As the captain of The Vestige, she's used to navigating rough waters and even rougher egos. But her new boss? He's a hurricane she didn't see coming.

Julian Vance. Billionaire. Control freak. The "Ice King" of New York.
He thinks Sloane is just staff. He thinks he can order her around like he does the stock market.
He's wrong.

When a sudden pandemic lockdown seals the ports, they find themselves trapped together at the dock. No staff. No escape. And thanks to a flooded cabin... only one bed.

Trapped in a luxury metal cage while the world outside shuts down, the power dynamics shift. Stripped of his suits and his empire, Julian is just a man with a bruised ego and a dangerous hunger. And Sloane is the only thing keeping him grounded.

As the days turn into nights, the line between hate and desire blurs. But Sloane knows that when the quarantine ends, the King will return to his tower. Can she survive the wreckage of falling for a man who treats love like a business deal?

"You are my storm, Sloane. And I'm done fighting it."

The Isolation Variable is a steamy Billionaire x Captain romance featuring the forced proximity and one bed tropes set during a lockdown. It is the second book in The Variable Series but can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed.
