I'm at the highest point of my career, and I haven't even broken a sweat yet. Wealth, power, and prestige. It's all at my fingertips. But in my world, one filled with secrets, power comes at a cost. A lie that taints my past. A sacrifice that poisons my future.



Until my newest assistant walks—or should I say, falls—into my office.



She's mouthy, horrible at her job, and is making me question everything. But I know better. Look but don't touch. The lie rotting inside me forbids it.



The problem is, I tried to stay away from her. Deny my darkest desires. But I'm a weak man. And one taste of her . . . There's no going back.



And I will have her in my bed. All she has to do is follow one very strict rule. No one can know.



If only it were that simple. Her power over me might just cost me everything . . .



Contains mature themes.
