The worn leather of the armchair creaked beneath me as I straddled Marcus.



I felt him, solid and undeniable, beneath me. The knowledge stole my breath.



"So," I managed, my voice a husky whisper, "are you screwing me just to get a rise out of Sebastian?"



He finally met my gaze again, a flicker of amusement dancing in his eyes.



"If you were any other woman," he drawled, his voice a caress against my ear, "maybe. But you're Jade. You're far too damn special for that."

Jade's tough past made her dream of a rich life. Marrying billionaire Sebastian seemed like it. A marriage complete with wealth, love, and security, she's determined to keep it that way.



Marcus, veiled in the mysteries of his three-year absence, returns as a transformed man. Wiser, stronger, and burdened by threats from a disloyal cartel, vengeance smolders beneath his tough exterior. But nothing could prepare him for the forbidden attraction to his brother's wife.



While the lines between loyalty and desire blur for Jade, Marcus tries to understand his own emotions - Torn between his desire for revenge and his growing sense of protectiveness towards Jade.
