And men who believe they own her. But they made one mistake. They let Valenti see her. This is not a fairytale. This is a dark empire colliding with a broken girl who refuses to stay broken.

No emotions. No expectations. Just pure, unadulterated pleasure. ​Curiosity wins. But the second Jaxon touches her, the boundaries blur. ​Because Jaxon doesn't just satisfy her body-he wrecks her mind. Between tangled sheets and breathless midnight confessions, he shows her a sweet, protective side no one else gets to see. Suddenly, the player who was only supposed to be a temporary fix is becoming an addiction she can't quit. ​Alex swore this was just a game. Jaxon is ready to change the rules. And now, she has to decide if she's brave enough to risk her heart on the one guy she promised herself she'd never love. This is the second book in the Northridge Series.
