Alana Kyson has spent six months holding her late father’s company together with nothing but grit and grief. When her mother elopes with Liam Owen, the man who built his fortune trying to bury her father’s, Alana wakes up with a merger, a stepbrother, and a man moving into her house. Ryder Owen. The one man she was never supposed to want, and the only one she’s never stopped thinking about the only one who ever made her come so hard she forgot her own name. To their families, it looks like unity. To the board, it looks like strategy. But buried in the fine print of the merger is a clause that will cost Alana everything the moment anyone learns the truth about what’s growing between them. And the truth is growing faster than either of them can hide it in her belly, under her skin, and in every filthy, desperate way they keep taking each other when no one is watching. Some lines are drawn by law. Others are drawn by blood. Alana and Ryder are about to break both, and pay for it in ways neither one saw coming.
