PROLOGUE
The city glittered like a jeweled crown under the night sky. It was bright, breathtaking but built on shadows. Behind the glass towers and champagne laughter, deals were struck in silence, secrets buried in darkness and power moved unseen, like a predator stalking its prey.
And at the very center of it all was him.
A man whose name alone could shift markets, silence rivals and ignite envy. He wears his authority like armor, his gaze sharper than any blade, his presence impossible to ignore. To the world, he was untouchable, mysterious, ruthless and desired.
But even the gods of men bleed in the dark.
Across the city, in the hush between midnight and dawn, she prepared. To most, she was nothing more than fragile sweetness, a woman too soft to survive in the world sharpened by greed.
But a woman's fragility should never be mistaken as a weakness, it could be something far more dangerous and deadly.
They have never met. Or have they?
But destiny has already wound their fate together. When their worlds finally collided, it would not be a simple story of power and love. It would be fire meeting gasoline like an attraction too fierce to control, a game too dangerous to walk away from.
Desire would unmask them both. And once the first spark caught, nothing in the world could put out the blaze.
