About this book

When a one-night stand turns out to be your impossibly charming—and impossibly ruthless—new boss, you're in serious trouble. Knox Van Doren is the kind of man who makes you forget your own rules, and he's not about to let you forget that night either, especially when he discovers you're hiding secrets that could unravel everything. As Knox tightens his grip on both your professional life and your carefully guarded heart, you have to decide if you're willing to surrender to the dangerous man who could destroy you—or if you'll find a way to outsmart a true villain at his own game. Buckle up for a deliciously dark, tension-filled ride where the lines between sin and survival blur in the best possible way.

AI-generated synopsis

Dark, intoxicating energy with dangerous attraction. Mix moody R&B and indie with industrial undertones—think The Weeknd, FKA twigs, and Cigarettes After Sex. Sultry vocals, tension-filled beats, and that feeling of surrendering to someone who thrills and terrifies you.
