Dominic Belov.

To the world, he's a ruthless mafia heir. To me, he was once everything.

The boy who looked under my bed for monsters, the teenager who taught me to fight and helped me study. The man I'd pictured marrying. My best friend.

But when I needed him most, he abandoned me, leaving me numb and hopeless.

So now, ten years later, when he wants to barge back into my life, he's only a distraction I can't afford. My only focus is making sure my father's murderer isn't released from prison. Legally.

Despite no longer being a part of the criminal world, both Dom and my need for vengeance are pulling me back in.

And I might just let them.

Leonie Castillo.

My sister's best friend.

She's infuriating. Intoxicating. Shackling.

And I was meant to be all her firsts. Her only.

But after her father's murder, a rift formed between her and me. One we can't repair.

I can never be more than her shadow, I'll only hurt her. We can't be together when she can never uncover the truth.

Because I've been lying to her since the night her dad died.

After the controversial death of my last client, my dream of being a sports publicist is left hanging by a thread. The sole opportunity for redemption is a role no one else wants because the client is the infamous Nixon Armas. I should be grateful to work with the motorbike racing champion. The rugged model. The stubborn, arrogant fool on the brink of losing his job.

It's just for one year while I rebuild my reputation. One year.

But the more I try to control his image, the more he pushes back. Our clashes spark a complicated enemies-with-benefits scenario that could shatter his new image and my career. For good.

If people look too closely at how I got here, it's over.

I'll do anything to salvage my career and protect Nix. Even if it means confronting the truth and changing my life forever.
