He lives by precision.
Control. Order. No mistakes.
Bryony Rook is none of those things.
She's loud, messy, unpredictable-and the only person who's ever disrupted his perfect system. The first time he sees her, she survives by accident. The second time, she becomes a problem.
And he doesn't tolerate problems.
When a contract appears with her name on it, he makes a choice no one saw coming-he takes her for himself.
Now Bryony is trapped in a world built on rules she doesn't understand, controlled by a man who doesn't feel... and doesn't forgive.
She fights.
He tightens control.
Because to him, she's a variable that needs to be fixed.
And to her?
He's the worst thing that could've happened.
