I raised my sister on my own. I built my career by being the one person who never needed anyone.
I set rules. I set boundaries. I don’t lean on people, and I don’t get attached.
That’s how I survive.
The night I landed the job of a lifetime—Director of Finance at the U.S. Lincoln Hotel—I let myself celebrate with one reckless night out, the kind I never allow myself to have.
That’s the night I met Alex Lebedev.
It turns out he’s one of my new bosses.
Ice-blue eyes. A body carved out of restraint. The kind of man who doesn’t ask twice, doesn’t explain himself, and doesn’t care whether you like what you find.
He stopped trying to please anyone a long time ago. Now he’s one of five men who own the hotel I fought so hard to work at—and he has found a way to break every rule I ever set for myself.
Don’t get attached. Broken.
Don’t mix business with pleasure. Broken.
Don’t need anyone. Broken.
Alex never lied to me. He just never told me everything. In his world, silence is its own kind of danger.
His brothers—and everything they built together—were the only things that ever mattered to him.
Until me.
Then everything he had never told me finally came out. It didn’t just threaten my job. It shattered every foundation I thought I had built and every boundary I believed would keep me safe.
Alex won’t apologize for who he is. He won’t soften, and he won’t beg.
But for the first time, he may have found something worth breaking his own rules for.
A forbidden boss-and-employee mafia romance featuring a one-night stand, a guarded heroine, a possessive and morally gray hero, dangerous secrets, shattered trust, and the powerful bond between five brothers.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
