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.

Timofey answers the phone and puts it on speaker.

"Hello?" I recognized Noelle's voice immediately. It's high-pitched and breathy, but I'd know it anywhere. "Hello? Is anyone there?"

"Unless you have my son, we have nothing to talk about," Timofey grinds out.

I have a lot to talk about with Noelle, but I bite my tongue. Now is neither the time nor the place. Getting Benjamin back is the most important thing.

"I don't—" Noelle's voice cracks. I can tell she's close to tears. "I don't know where he is. The numbers I had before are all disconnected. No one is answering me."

She whimpers. "I did everything I could. When I asked where they were taking him, the boss told me it was dangerous for me to know anything."

Timofey and I look at one another. "Give me the name of the boss."
