He’s her husband’s boss.
And he wants her—without mercy.
Isla Maren lives a beautifully crafted lie.
Devoted wife. Respected designer. The perfect illusion of control.
But when her emotionally distant husband vanishes on a year-long assignment, he leaves behind more than silence. He leaves her unprotected.
Lucien Thorn doesn’t just run empires—he owns obedience.
Cold. Brilliant. Devastatingly commanding.
He watches Isla like he already knows what she’ll give him.
And when he offers her a project in his private penthouse, she steps into the cage willingly.
The tension builds slow.
A gaze that lingers too long.
A brush of fingertips too low.
Until the line between professionalism and possession disappears in his shadow.
He doesn’t ask.
He takes.
And she lets him.
Because under every rule she’s ever lived by lies one terrifying truth—
She wants to be ruined by him.
But Lucien has secrets buried deeper than his scars.
And Damon?
He’s not as far away as she thinks.
In a world where power is currency and pleasure is control, love isn’t just dangerous—
It’s a weapon.
And someone is about to bleed for it.
