Somehow, I landed a job as his assistant.
I’m nothing like the other women he’s used to—innocent, naïve, and definitely not looking for a relationship. I’ve been too busy raising my younger brother to care about anything else.
But there’s something about him I can’t ignore.
He’s cold, ruthless, and untouchable, but when he looks at me... it’s different.
There’s a darkness to him, a hunger. And I’m starting to crave it.
I’ve never been with a man before, but he’s making me question everything. The way he touches me, the way he makes me feel... It’s like he wants to own me in a way no one else ever has.
But trust doesn’t come easy.
And if I give him my heart—and my body—I might lose everything.
