She despises everything he represents. And that is precisely where his obsession begins. ~ In a world where control and desire have always belonged to him, Leandro Enrique, the ruthless leader of the Enrique mafia and brother to the infamous Antonio Caruso, meets the one woman who refuses to submit. Kloe Maeve Bakari is independent, quick-witted, and firmly engaged. She has built her life on discipline and distance, yet finds herself pulled into Leandro's orbit despite every instinct urging her to stay away. What begins as a calculated game on his part soon turns dangerous. Determined to seduce her and tear apart the life she has chosen, Leandro sets his sights on ruining her relationship, convinced that desire will do what intimidation cannot. But Kloe is not blind to his intentions. She recognises the trap and, instead of retreating, decides to play his game right back. As fate pushes them together again, attraction collides with resentment, and manipulation becomes mutual, with each move bringing consequences neither of them fully anticipates. Will Kloe resist the appeal of a man who thrives on conquest, or will Leandro finally meet the one woman who refuses to be claimed? ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2017/2018©
