She broke into his office to steal a dead man's ledger.
The safe was already empty - and he was waiting for her.
Elara Kane has fourteen days to buy her sister's freedom from
a trafficking ring, and the only leverage she has is a ledger
that isn't hers to take. She thought Casian Rourke was the monster
holding her sister's contract. She was wrong about almost everything
- except that he's dangerous.
Rourke doesn't raise his voice. He doesn't need to. And now that
she's seen his empty safe, he can't let her walk away - not because
he wants her gone, but because keeping her close is the only way
to keep her alive.
A stolen ledger. A ticking clock. A deal spoken aloud that neither
of them should have made.
She thinks she's using him.
He's using her too.
Neither of them planned on anything else.
