Twenty Seven Days
Scarlett Voss has one rule: get in, get paid, get out.
No attachments. No exceptions. No mercy.
When a mysterious client offers her the biggest payday of her life to seduce billionaire Xavier Blackwell and steal a file from his private server, she doesn’t hesitate. Men like Xavier are easy targets — too powerful to expect betrayal, too arrogant to see it coming.
Except Xavier Blackwell isn’t either of those things.
He knew about Scarlett before she walked through his door. He knew her name, her game, and exactly who sent her. What he didn’t know — what no amount of preparation could have warned him about — was how completely she would dismantle every wall he’d spent years building.
What neither of them knew was how deep the danger truly ran.
Because the man who hired Scarlett isn’t just a client with a secret. He’s a senator with blood on his hands, a confirmation hearing in twenty-seven days, and a willingness to destroy anyone who stands between him and untouchability. He’s already killed once to protect himself. He’ll do it again without hesitation.
He’s also Xavier’s uncle.
And he chose Scarlett specifically — not just for her skills, but because he saw what would happen between them before either of them did.
Now Scarlett and Xavier are running out of time, running out of trust, and running toward each other in a situation designed to make both impossible.
The con was supposed to be simple.
The truth is anything but.
Some lies protect you. Some truths destroy you. And some people are worth burning everything down for.
