​"You don't seem to understand the rules of this house, Mia," he interrupted, his voice dropping to a purr that brooked absolute zero argument. "You are under my roof. You are currently logged in my books. In this city, and within the borders of this estate, my authority is absolute. I do not care who is looking for you across the country. I do not care what powerful men think they have a claim to your life."

Working as a maid tasked with cleaning the brothers private rooms, she finds herself navigating a minefield of desires and tempers. But Mia isn't just an ordinary captive, and the brothers quickly take notice. A fierce, toxic rivalry begins. A new game begins among the criminal siblings, with a singular, dangerous prize: who can claim Mia first?
