I was just an ornament to my billionaire husband—a doll dressed up in silk for his powerful investors. For five years, Michael Haldron kept me locked away in the dark, using my body as currency to build his multi-million-dollar empire. He thought he had broken me completely. He was wrong. The last night inside his compound, I fought back. I slit the lining of my coat, smuggled out his encrypted corporate ledger, and fled into a category-four mountain blizzard. To erase his liability, Michael sent his specialized asset recovery team to push my car into a thirty-foot ravine. They thought they were dressing a corpse. They had no idea I was carrying the one thing that could bring his entire kingdom down. Left for dead in the freezing snow, I thought the storm would finish me. Instead, I woke up in the fortress of Jake Sullivan. Jake is a haunted, steel-gray-eyed veteran running an elite shadow organization. He has the financial resources to match my husband dollar for dollar, and a lethal private army ready to match him bullet for bullet. He doesn’t answer to politics, red tape, or a government paycheck. He only answers to the absolute destruction of monsters. Michael is burning the mountain to find me. He owns the local law, he owns the shipping lanes, and he wants his property back. But Jake just closed the blast doors, strapped a sidearm to his thigh, and gave me an unyielding promise: "They are never touching you again. I don't care how much money they have. We're going to finish what you started." Michael took my voice. Jake is giving me the weapons to take my life back.
