He watched her for a decade. Loved her from the shadows. And now, he's ready to make her his-whether she's ready or not. Dominic Cross is a billionaire tech mogul known for his ruthless precision and cold control. But behind the empire he's built is a secret obsession-Sera Monroe, the brilliant designer he's watched grow from a distant fantasy into an untouchable force. For ten years, he's stayed away. Watched. Waited. Hungered. Now, she's within reach. When Dominic finally steps out of the shadows, Sera is drawn to him with a pull she can't explain-or escape. His presence is magnetic, his attention intoxicating. But what begins as a darkly seductive game soon spirals into something more dangerous. Because Dominic doesn't just want her creativity. He wants all of her. And he's spent a decade preparing to claim what he believes already belongs to him. Obsession. Possession. Redemption. Where's the line between love and control-and what happens when it's already been crossed?

To the world he was a beast but for her he would do anything. He could have the world but all he wanted was her. They say the things we want most are the things we can't have. For she was so afraid of him that even the thought of him could have her running for the hills. Little did she know that she was the only one who didn't have to be afraid of him.
