When Emma accidentally leaves a very explicit seven-and-a-half-minute voicemail for her impossibly demanding boss—a gorgeous Russian billionaire she's been fantasizing about—she's absolutely mortified. Her panicked plan to pretend nothing happened falls apart the moment Ruslan schedules a mysterious one-on-one meeting with her for exactly that many seconds, making it crystal clear he heard everything. What follows is a delicious game of tension, temptation, and power dynamics as Emma discovers her cold, commanding boss might have his own very compelling reasons for keeping her close. This is enemies-to-lovers at its steamiest, with a bratva boss who's about to make Emma's wildest fantasies look tame.
