When Alfie is faced with a choice between losing his left hand or working for a notorious nightclub, the decision is easy. Drowning in debt after being disowned by his wealthy parents, Alfie McKellar finds himself trapped, with his only shot at financial freedom resting in the hands of the powerful man who now holds his fate.

Nikolai Komarov inspires fear from his homeland to the streets of New York City. He's seized control of the city's nightlife, running Pallieria, the most exclusive club, and keeping the city's elite firmly under his thumb. With his sights set on power alone, Nikolai doesn't expect his focus to waver-until he meets Alfie, a doe-eyed beauty whose presence stirs the deepest, darkest parts of himself he's fought to keep hidden.

And what Nikolai desires, he always takes. But being the boss's favorite brings its own dangers. As Alfie struggles to survive the dangerous world that is Nikolai's, he becomes desperate to secure his position. What he doesn't anticipate, however, is discovering the man beneath the ruthless facade.

Nikolai doesn't believe in commitment, love, or anything that could lead to pain. But despite knowing the risks, Alfie can't help but fall for the illusion-even if it means getting burned in the process.
