Damien Voss is a brutal fixer for an underground corporate syndicate. Cold. Calculated. Lethal. He hunts down threats to the empire and erases them with efficiency. That is, until his latest target outsmarts him and vanishes.
That target is Selene Ward-a cunning, elusive tech genius with a trail of burned empires and ruined men in her wake. Publicly, she's a ghost. Privately, she's the woman who built the very system Damien enforces-and is now dismantling it piece by piece.
Their first real encounter ends in a draw and a bloodied lip-for both.
Now, she's back in the game, stepping out of the shadows. Not just to finish what she started... but to play him.
Selene makes a bold move: she offers Damien a truce... and a partnership. One that could bring them both immense power-or destroy them. Passion explodes. Trust is poison. And control becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.
But as their attraction spirals into obsession, and enemies close in from both sides, the line between love and betrayal starts to blur.
Because in the end, Selene doesn't want revenge.
She wants the empire. And Damien?
He just might want her more than power-and that makes him her biggest weakness.
