To save her late father’s firm from total bankruptcy, Elena Vance makes a deal with the devil: a binding engagement to Julian Mercer, the city’s cold, calculating corporate monarch. Held captive by an eight-carat diamond ring and a fifty-million-dollar family debt, Elena resigns herself to a life inside Julian’s gilded cage.
Until his exiled younger brother, Dominic Mercer, returns to reclaim his place in the empire.
Dominic is raw fire where Julian is ice—unpredictable, dangerous, and completely unimpressed by his brother’s rules. When Dominic buys out Julian’s chief corporate competitor, he forces Elena into a mandatory, late-night joint venture, igniting an explosive chemistry neither can control. As Dominic uncovers dark secrets regarding her father’s sudden demise, Elena finds herself torn between duty to the CEO who bought her future... and the brother who threatens to steal her heart.
