Adrian Vale — the mysterious man who always disappeared from the office — found me, took me home, and ruined me for every other man alive. Filthy words, possessive hands, and pleasure so intense I still feel it when I close my eyes. Then he vanished without a word.Now he’s back.As the new CEO of the company where I work.And my older sister Isabella’s fiancé.I have to smile through family dinners while his hand rests on her waist and his eyes burn into mine like he still owns every inch of my body. I have to pretend I don’t remember the way he came inside me, whispering that I belonged to him. I have to be the perfect secretary while my sister plans a future with the only man who’s ever made me lose control.
