Now he’s her boss... and her stepbrother. Sophia thought she could forget the stranger who whispered filthy promises against her skin but fate isn’t done with her. Her new job comes with high stakes, strict rules... and Ethan Blackwood — her arrogant, sinfully gorgeous boss. The same man who nearly ruined her with one look. The same man who is now, horrifyingly, her stepbrother. He’s forbidden. Untouchable. But Ethan doesn’t play by the rules. And he wants her — again and again. She tries to resist. He dares her to fall. But Ethan’s secrets could destroy everything — including her. She knows she's falling hard, but Ethan has plans of his own... And love was never part of it, is Sophia just a pawn in his twisted game?
