"In the operating room, my hands never tremble. But under his touch, I forget how to breathe."
Dr. Elena Vance is a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon who handles blood and death with absolute calm. She never expected to get caught in the dangerous orbit of Alistair Thorne-the cold, ruthless billionaire king of London's underworld who controls everything, including the very air she breathes.
Tonight, beneath the gold chandeliers of Thorne Manor, the rules of the game change.
As the music echoes through the ballroom, Alistair claims her waist, erasing all the distance between them until her steady pulse suddenly races like a trapped bird. Sensing the sharp eyes of the crowd watching her, his grip tightens, and a lethal whisper leaves his lips:
"She is my woman."
Elena knows this man is a beautiful monster. But right when she intends to escape, Alistair pulls her deeper into a dark secret she never saw coming-a secret that will alter her life forever...
What dark secret is Alistair hiding? And will Elena manage to break free, or will she get frozen forever in the devil's empire?
