Hollywood legal consultant Kate Arnoult has one rule: never trust a man who says he wants forever. Fifteen years after losing everything in a single phone call, Kate has built the perfect life—successful law practice, castle in the Hollywood Hills, and a strict no-emotional-attachment policy that's served her well. By night, she's Gemini Blue, the notorious unicorn who rules SANCTM, Hollywood's most exclusive private club, where she plays by her own rules and never gets too close. Until Victor Gabriel walks into her world and upends it with a single scotch. The gorgeous forensic geneticist sees right through her walls with those pale green eyes, and suddenly Kate's carefully constructed defenses are crumbling. Victor doesn't want a quick hookup or a casual arrangement—he wants her. All of her. The woman behind the mask, the vulnerability she's spent years protecting, the heart she swore she'd never risk again. But Victor has secrets of his own. The ex-Lifestyle player with the soft smile and dominant touch has spent ten years avoiding exactly what Kate represents—a woman who could make him lose control. After his ex-wife's betrayal shattered his trust and drove him from the swinging community, Victor built walls around his heart as impenetrable as Kate's. But her brilliance and vulnerability call to something deeper than his carefully controlled life. When Kate's high-profile case takes a bizarre turn, she needs Victor's forensic genetics expertise to uncover the truth behind her client's harassment. Working together ignites the chemistry they've both been fighting, but as the danger escalates, Victor discovers that protecting Kate might mean risking everything he's spent a decade rebuilding. In a world where consent is sacred and pleasure has no limits, can two wounded souls find the courage to tear down their walls? Or will their pasts destroy their chance at the one thing they've both been afraid to want: a love worth fighting for? 🔥 Perfect for readers who love:
