Ariel never imagined her life would become a prison. Traded by her grandfather to a man who calls himself Harlord—rich, and far more dangerous than anything she has ever known. Or so she thought. Until she meets Jay Sterling. Ruthless, colder, and just as rich as sin. Only to learn that he is Harlord’s greatest enemy. To Jay, Ariel is just another girl who sold herself for money, and knows how to play the same game, in a quieter way. And she quickly decides that Jay is the last man she ever wants to cross. Until a high-stakes mission pulls almost everyone in the underworld under the same roof, and ignoring Jay becomes almost impossible. When Harlord notices the growing tension between them, his jealousy turns possessive, his threats grow more frightening, and Jay finds himself drawn toward the one woman he was never supposed to want. In a world where blood is like water and everyone is playing a game they cannot afford to lose. Feeding a fire with fire, can only burn down the entire world. But what happens when a woman who doesn’t even know her own strength becomes the walking danger to every man in the mafia world, and the key to something far more dangerous than death?
