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 fly around corners and speed through as many lights as I can. The thought of getting in an accident isn't nearly as terrifying as the thought of losing Benjamin.


Piper must feel the same. She isn't complaining at all that she's wedged in the backseat with Benjamin and his car seat. Her claustrophobia should have her clawing at the windows, but when I glance in the rearview mirror, all of her attention is on the boy.


Even in the dark, I can tell her eyes are glassy with unshed tears. "His eyes are starting to close. I don't know if he's sleeping or—"


"We're almost there," I interrupt. "Two more minutes."


She pokes at him, whispering sweet assurances in his ears to keep him awake.


The moment Piper called, I knew I had to be the one to get them to the hospital. An ambulance would take too long. And if something happened to him on the ride, I'd have no choice but to kill the EMTs in retaliation.
