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 wish you were dead. Because wanting you is killing me.

Those last words are whispered against my shoulder. His lips brush against my collarbone, and I'm no longer breathing.

I'm perfectly still, frozen in place. Afraid to move and draw too much attention to this moment.

Timofey grips my waist and slides his hands down to my hips. He cups my ass for a second, drawing me against him so I feel the hard length between his legs.

My heart is thundering in my chest as Timofey retreats backward two steps and spins around. He holds something over his shoulder. It takes me a second to realize what it is.

"Hey!" I pat my back pocket and glare at him when I feel it's empty. "You stole my phone!"

"Maybe I wouldn't have been able to if you'd been paying more attention. Then again, you seemed a little distracted."
