Selene Leor is a woman of secrets-secrets that have left scars she's tried desperately to forget. She hides beneath the flashing lights and smoky air of a strip club, far removed from the life she once knew. Her beauty is lethal, her presence commanding, but beneath the surface lies a past woven into the darkness of the mafia world-a past she's not ready to face.
Midas King, the ruthless heir of a notorious empire, doesn't believe in coincidences. He's heard whispers of the enigmatic woman with the storm in her eyes, and when he sees her from across the room, something stirs within him. He can't help but be drawn to her-her allure, her distance, the danger wrapped in every glance.
Neither of them is ready to face what they could become. Selene knows the cost of getting too close, the price of falling back into the game she's fought so hard to leave behind. Midas, a man who controls everything around him, has never had to fight for anything, but something about Selene makes him want to.
As the pull between them intensifies, the past lurks in the shadows, threatening to pull them both under.
Selene won't let him in, not fully. Not yet. But Midas has never been one to give up on a challenge, and with every fleeting moment, both of their walls begin to crack.
They don't trust each other. They don't trust themselves. But what happens when the only way to survive is to let go?
