"You have caused far too much trouble for me, Everly."

She stilled when she looked into his emerald eyes. Her name on his lips felt like a prayer, murmured over and over again.

He drug a finger up higher on her thigh, the sole touch of a male who knew he owned somebody's body and soul. Never apologizing for it, never hesitating.

But she leaned into that touch. If only so she could finally reach the knife he had hidden in his belt. "Oh, you poor thing," she said quietly. "I've only just started."

Bohemian Grove is a legend. A myth. A mystery. For four years, Everly Eastwick has expertly avoided them as she worked her way into the lives of Hollywood's most rich and important. In a society still reeling after granting women the right to vote, a group of chauvinistic men as powerful as them are the last people she needs to be around.

She's after something much more ambitious-a throne amongst kings. But when her scandalous past resurfaces and threatens her bid for governor, she finds herself exactly where she shouldn't be-in the arms of Onyx Clemente, leader of Bohemian Grove. Hollywood's infamous "fixer" has been given his most challenging task yet, and it just so happens to involve her.

She's made a lot of enemies. He's the enemy nobody dares to cross. When the two most brilliant schemers of the century find themselves fighting the same battle, will they be able to put aside their differences? Or will they fall right into each other's traps?
