Landon King is chaos wrapped in arrogance. Charming, untouchable, and impossibly infuriating. Jeremy Volkov is control incarnate. A calculating, dangerous force who thrives on precision and power. They should never cross paths. They should never want each other. But one night, in a storm of anger, adrenaline, and unspoken desire, the line between hatred and obsession shatters.

Their battles are no longer just about pride. They're a game of dominance, seduction, and relentless, intoxicating tension. In a world of privilege, secrets, and danger, Landon and Jeremy are drawn together by a force that is as thrilling as it is dangerous. Who will claim the upper hand? Who will bend? And how far will either of them go to get what they want? Enemies, rivals, and something far more dangerous: they are each other's obsession.
