He needed a secretary who wouldn't flinch at the blood. He hired his enemy's daughter by mistake.
I haven't felt anything in thirteen years.Not since I held my best friend while he bled out and learned that caring is just handing the world a weapon to use against you.
So I built an empire on ice and ran it like the dead man I am.
Then she walked in.
My new secretary. Sharp tongue, steel spine, green eyes that don't flinch when everyone else runs.
Nora Kelly looked at the worst of me and stayed.
Now she's the first thing I think about and the last thing I'd ever let go.
Mine.
I'd burn this city to the ground before I let anyone touch her.
I just never counted on the truth doing more damage than any bullet.
Because the woman I've let past every wall I have isn't who she says she is.
And when I find out what she's been hiding, I'll have to choose between the empire that made me and the only thing that's ever made me feel alive.
