I’m a lawyer drowning in debt and he’s the man with the lifeline. He dissected my life in a speakeasy and handed me his dead mother's diamond. It’s just a fake engagement to steal a ledger. A slick, professional operation. Until his cold control shatters and he pins me to his desk. His intellect is terrifying, but his touch is feral. He was supposed to use me as a pawn. But now he’s willing to blow the whole mission just to keep me breathing. I’m playing for keeps in a game where the house always wins.
