Five years ago, Ronan Asher shattered Samira Desai's life when he walked away, leaving her to face a family tragedy alone. Now, the ruthless corporate titan is back, not as a friend, but as the only savior who can clear the crushing debt she owes to the deadly Shadow Group.
Ronan claims his rescue comes with a price: Samira's absolute surrender as "collateral." Trapped in his high-security penthouse, they are forced to confront the blazing, forbidden desire that has simmered since they were teenagers.
As Ronan uses her intelligence to dismantle her enemies, Samira must navigate the terrifying reality of her new contract, realizing that the man who was once her brother's best friend is now her possessive captor, and this war will cost her everything.
