It began with a stolen almost-kiss.

And ended in revenge.

She was never supposed to cross my path.

She was never supposed to know about the oaths I swore or the secrets I keep.

But like a thief in the night, she took my heart and ran… even if she wasn't mine to possess.

As a member of the billionaire Elite, I live by simple tenets. A gentleman above all. Loyalty is everything.. Secrets whispered are never revealed. And power is king.

My so-called brothers killed my friend. I intend to make them pay. And before it's over, I'll bend all the rules of morality, decency and legality. I will borrow and steal to set the scales right. But begging--begging, you can forget about.

Unless she asks nicely.

My name is Ben Covington, and I know my sins.
