Fifty stories above the pavement, architect Sloane Kensington spots a three-millimeter flaw that could bring down a billion-dollar skyscraper. Then the horizon tilts, her knees buckle, and the only thing keeping her off the steel grating is her foreman's grip on her arm.
Diagnosed with a rare vestibular condition that makes her brain think she's in constant freefall, Sloane refuses to step away from the project that defines her career. Dr. Elias Thorne — the rigidly controlled specialist she bullies her way into seeing — gives her forty-eight hours of medication and a warning: when the mask wears off, she'll crash twice as hard.
She crashes. He catches her. And the compromise he offers — secret, after-hours treatments in his locked clinic, just the two of them — blurs every professional line he's ever drawn.
But when a crisis sends them five thousand miles across the Atlantic, trapped together at thirty thousand feet with her world literally spinning, the question stops being whether she'll fall. It's whether either of them is brave enough to stop pretending they don't want to.
The Gravity Between Us is a contemporary romance about two people who built their lives around control — and the terrifying, exhilarating free fall of letting someone else hold you up.


Maren Lindström is the best geologist Aurelian Resources has. Étienne Cassel is the commanding officer who thinks she might be a spy. She's been sent to a remote Quebec base to confirm a billion-dollar mineral discovery. He's hunting a mole who's selling his installation's secrets. When Maren's fieldwork uncovers contamination that could shut down the project and threaten every life on the base, she has to decide: trust the man who's been investigating her, or protect herself and the career she built instead of a life. He has to decide the same thing. The deposit holds rare earths and arsenic in the same stone. You don't get one without the other. Neither do they.
Alteration Halo is a slow-burn romantic suspense novella about two stubborn, brilliant people who discover that the most dangerous thing at the edge of the world is someone who sees you clearly.


A detective arrives on a volcanic island to investigate diving deaths. Every lead points to the same woman — the instructor who took all three victims to the deep.
Lena Maris knows the ocean the way most people know solid ground. Rafael Maron knows how to read people the way she reads currents. When the investigation forces them underwater together, they discover something worse than the accidents that brought him here: a conspiracy anchored to the ocean floor, a Cold War wreck that should have stayed buried, and a secret between them that could destroy the trust they are building dive by dive, touch by touch, breath by held breath.
DEPTH OF FIELD is a slow-burn romantic suspense set in the Atlantic deep — where the pressure reveals everything, the silence is louder than words, and the most dangerous thing underwater is the person you're learning to trust.




Penelo Vance writes high-stakes romance interwoven with the sharp, unpredictable tension of a psychological thriller. She is fascinated by what happens when rigid control shatters against undeniable desire, placing her characters in unforgiving environments that test their absolute limits. Whether her stories unfold sixty stories up in the chilling isolation of a corporate glass tower or at the remote, untamed edges of the map, the danger in her books is always as palpable as the passion.In a Penelo Vance novel, survival and surrender go hand in hand. She builds complex, deeply layered characters who are fiercely protective of their secrets and driven by ambition, only to find themselves stripped bare by love. Her psychological approach to romance guarantees intense mind games, shifting power dynamics, and a breathless undercurrent of suspense that keeps the stakes incredibly high.Penelo firmly believes that the most unforgettable love stories happen when her characters have absolutely everything to lose—their empires, their sanity, or their lives.
