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

It's the only thing I could think of as Timofey lifted Kreshnik off the ground. As the intensity of the moment swelled and shattered.

I need to get Timofey out of here.

But then the guards came. They whisked Kreshnik away. And Timofey looked at me.

In that one look, I saw all of the heartbreak. All of the pain and the torment. I saw the rage.

I knew instantly what he wanted. It's what I want, too.

The man who kidnapped and hurt Benjamin is not only still breathing; he's walking away. Being led away, actually. Protected by security guards who have no idea the kinds of atrocities he has committed.

If it hurts me to see, I know it's killing Timofey. Which is why when his eyes meet mine, I nod.
