He doesn't believe in coincidence. He believes in possession. At twenty-one, art historian Itzel Giménez came to Oaxaca chasing ambition, not danger. She didn't expect Ricardo Mertens-a man as magnetic as he is untouchable. Older. Powerful. The kind of man whose gaze strips you bare and leaves you breathless. The moment he claims her, the rules change. Every glance is a challenge. Every word a trap. Every touch ignites something she swore she could control. In a world of priceless art and whispered deals, Ricardo doesn't want her compliance. He doesn't want her heart. He wants everything-mind, body, and surrender. And once she's his, there's no turning back. A passion as inevitable as it is dangerous. A desire that could ruin them both.
