The hottest man I’ve ever seen is now my new boss—
and I’m stuck in a house with him…
Until one of us cracks.

I’ve got debt—yeah, I know, so does everyone else on Planet Earth.
But the bills I’m paying keep my dad and my grandma alive.
So it’s pretty messed-up for Timofey Viktorov to use them as a threat to keep me under control.

Not that he cares.
As a billionaire CEO, he takes no prisoners in the boardroom.
And as the don of the Viktorov Bratva, he takes no prisoners in real life, either.

Which is why he has no qualms about extorting me into taking his deal.
Live in my mansion…
Care for my baby…
Or suffer the consequences.

But he’s not the only one with an agenda.
Timofey has skeletons in his closet—and I’m determined to dig them out.
He’s just as determined to keep me far away from the secrets of his past.

The longer I’m in his house, the tenser things get.
Every time we brush past each other in the hallway, something sparks.
Every time we cross paths in the night, the ice grows thinner.

Sooner or later, it’s going to crack.

Whiskey Poison

I follow Piper outside and pull my shirt over my head with one hand. Ashley whistles as soon as I'm bare-chested. "Is Mr. Boss Man going to join us? Does this place have an HR department? Because this can't possibly be kosher."


It's Piper's turn to stare. Her green eyes are wide as saucers as I shuck off my jeans and undress down to my boxer briefs.


"I make the rules. If I say it's allowed, it's allowed." I hop over the edge and slide beneath the warm, bubbling water.


"What if we don't want you here?" Piper asks.


Ashley taps the surface of the water and splashes Piper. "Of course we want him here. We needed a little sausage in this taco soup."


"Oh my god. Ew, Ash!" Piper wrinkles her nose, but she's fighting back a smile. "You're disgusting."


"Literally no one was thinking that." Piper looks over at me like she wants to apologize, but her eyes drop low over my chest before she jerks them away. Her cheeks flush.
