Ivana Sokolov doesn't miss. Trained since childhood into the deadliest asset her agency owns, she's spent ten years burying every soft thing about herself so deep that even she forgot it was there. When she's sent to assassinate Alpha Alfonso Rocca, head of the most powerful syndicate in the eastern territories, it's supposed to be routine. Line up the shot, collect the paycheck, disappear. Instead, the mission changes mid-trigger and the price of refusing is her brother's life, a brother she buried four years ago and has just learned is very much alive.

Evelyn Marceau entered her marriage to the ruthless Alistair Thorne with nothing but raw sincerity and a reckless sort of hope. She endured his coldness, believing that the life growing inside her would finally thaw the ice around the billionaire tycoon's heart. Then she found the contract. To Alistair, she wasn’t a wife. She was a breeding vessel—a low-risk variable bought to secure the Thorne bloodline and lock down a trillion-dollar corporate empire against his mafia rivals. The moment the heir was born, she was to be stripped of her child and discarded. Shattered but refusing to let her child become a corporate pawn, Evelyn vanished into a rain-slicked night without a trace. Six years later, the meek girl is dead.

She isn't alone, either—she has a secret weapon: quadruplet prodigies who are just as brilliant, and just as dangerous, as their mother. When a high-stakes crisis forces Alistair to seek out the elusive Dr. Voss, he finds himself staring at the ghost of the wife he destroyed. Only this time, she’s completely untouchable. The corporate tiger is cornered. The tables have flipped. And the man who once broke her is about to learn that some debts are paid in blood, business, and absolute submission.
