Falling for the CEO'S brother
“But listen to me.” His voice lower, filled with hunger. “When those six months are over, if he doesn’t choose you—if you realize he can’t love you the way I do—you’re mine. I won’t hold back anymore. I won’t watch you waste yourself on him. I’ll come for you with everything I have. Every weapon. Every ounce of desire. Every piece of me that already belongs to you.”
My chest tightened.
“And when that time comes,” he growled, his face so close I felt his breath on my lips, “I won’t let you run. I will never let you go because you’ll be mine, wholly down to your soul. There will be no escape. Six months, sweetheart. That’s all the freedom you get. After that—”
His lips brushed my ear.
“—you’re mine. Whether you like it or not.”

Elise thought her life was finally falling into place. She turned down her father’s company to work as executive assistant to Marcus Grey—the boy she’s loved since childhood, now the powerful CEO she’s devoted her life to.
But when Marcus proposes to another woman, Elise’s world crumbles. Then comes Sebastian Deluca, Marcus’s tattooed, ruthless, long-estranged brother. He’s everything Marcus isn’t: dangerous, magnetic, and determined to take back his place in New York.
But, there's something odd about him.
Something changed since he arrived.
Tied by secrets and mutual desire to expose Marcus’s fiancée, Elise and Sebastian form an alliance. But as sparks ignite between them, Elise must choose: remain loyal to the boy she thought she loved, or risk everything for the man who sees her as more than a shadow.
Some loves are safe. Others are consuming. Which one will she survive?
