The Devereux enigma brothers had spent years making his life a living hell. Evander and Lysander Devereux were rich, powerful, and devastatingly charming. Every girlfriend he ever loved eventually ended up in their arms. Every relationship became another trophy for the infamous heirs. They stole everything from him... and laughed while doing it. Their favorite joke? His virginity. Humiliated beyond endurance, he made a reckless decision. One night. One anonymous encounter. One chance to escape the shadow of the people who had spent years tearing him apart. "Destroy me." Blindfolded and trembling, he offered himself to the shadows. For the first time in his life, he felt wanted. Then the blindfold came off. His heart stopped. Evander and Lysander... his rivals and tormentors. The men who had spent years stealing every woman he had ever cared about. "How... how could it be you?" he whispered. The mockery vanished from their faces, replaced by something far more dangerous. Obsession. What should have remained a humiliating secret became the beginning of an obsession neither brother could control. Then Augustus Devereux entered the picture. The billionaire patriarch wasn't his stepfather. He was the powerful man dating his cruel stepmother. And from the moment Augustus discovered the secret connecting him to his sons, something changed. The Devereux men were known for their power, wealth, and ruthlessness. Sharing was never in their nature. Yet somehow, he became the exception. "Do you know what fascinates me most?" Augustus asked softly. "Not that my sons want you." His gaze darkened. "It's that none of us can seem to walk away." Now caught between two possessive heirs and the dangerous patriarch who should be completely off-limits, he becomes the center of an obsession that threatens to destroy them all. Because the Devereux men never share... except for him.
