She came to destroy him. He never expected her to save him.
Simone Young has one mission: burn down the training house that shattered her life... and the man who built it.
Armed with a false name and years of buried rage, she infiltrates Tristan McCloud's exclusive world to bring him to his knees. What she finds is harder to hate than she planned for.
Tristan built his empire on discipline, not desire. After a loss that gutted him, he learned to orchestrate other people's surrender while staying untouched by his own. Control replaced connection. Protocol replaced everything else.
Then Simone walks in.
From their first collision, he sees something in her defiance, a mirror to the pain he's spent years burying. He senses her secrets. He should send her away. Instead, her responses to his dominance wake something in him he'd written off as dead.
As the line between vengeance and surrender thins, Simone's resolve starts to crack under a man who sees too much.
And when her real name finally surfaces, she'll have to choose: the revenge that built her, or the man who's forgotten how to love but is learning... for her.
