To the rest of Seattle, Lucian Blackwood is a ghost in a tailored suit-the ruthless, ice-cold billionaire CEO who runs Blackwood Global with an iron fist. To me? He's the arrogant bastard who just bought my family's beloved bookstore's debt from the bank. I was twenty-four hours away from losing everything my grandmother left me. Then, Lucian presented a contract with a catch that made my jaw drop. The deal? Save his brilliant but rebellious younger brother from flunking out of his elite academy before finals. The condition? I have to move into Lucian's sprawling, hyper-modern Medina estate. Live under his roof. I thought I could handle it. I thought I could ignore the heavy silence of his mansion, the way he watches me from the shadows of his massive library, and the dangerous, electric tension that sparks every time our paths cross in the halls. But as the rainy Seattle nights stretch on, I'm realizing the greatest threat isn't losing my home to the bank... it's losing my heart to the monster who owns it.
