I've always prided myself on seeing through people's bullshit. But Dmitri Ivanov? He's a puzzle I can't solve.

Sure, Boston's elite sees the perfect businessman-all devastating smiles and Armani suits. I see the monster beneath, the darkness he tries so hard to hide. The way he watches me like he wants to devour me whole.

I hate how he gets under my skin. Hate how my body betrays me every time he corners me, how his touch sets me on fire even as his arrogance makes me want to scream. He thinks he can control me like he controls everything else in his perfectly ordered world.

He's wrong.

But when I discover the truth about the Ivanov family, suddenly I'm caught in a dangerous game I never signed up for. Now Dmitri's trying to protect me by keeping me in the dark, not realizing his secrets might get me killed.

After I'm kidnapped, everything changes. The lies, the betrayal, the realization that I was just another chess piece in his game-it's too much. So I do the one thing Dmitri Ivanov never expected.

I walk away.

Now the great puppet master has lost his strings, and for the first time in his life, he's the one begging. But I won't make it easy for him. If he wants me back, he'll have to do the one thing he's never done before:

Let someone see the real him.

Even if it shatters us both.
