Sienna moved to the city seeking freedom, passion, and a life far from the quiet predictability of her past. Bold, fearless, and unafraid to chase what she wants, she never expected the city to test her in ways she couldn’t imagine. Lucian is everything she should avoid: dangerous, magnetic, and untouchable. At twenty-six, he holds power over the city, a man who commands attention without asking for it. But when he crosses paths with Sienna, the rules that govern his world begin to crumble. Desire ignites between them, a tension neither can deny, and secrets begin to pull them closer into a web of obsession, lust, and power. Every glance, every brush of hands, feels electric. Every choice carries risk. And in a city where danger lurks in shadowed alleyways and luxury hides betrayal, Sienna and Lucian must navigate a fragile line between control and surrender, between passion and peril. As their connection deepens, Sienna realizes that surrendering to desire comes at a price — one that may consume them both. In a world fueled by power, obsession, and secrets, there is no turning back from what burns between them.

At my wedding, the giant screen that's supposed to show our photos suddenly switches to the groom's assistant's prenatal exam report. It clearly shows that he is the child's father. The assistant looks flustered and panicked as she rushes to apologize to me. The groom, on the other hand, stays perfectly calm and offers an explanation like it's no big deal. "I took pity on her because she got pregnant out of wedlock, so I went with her to the appointment and left my name. I'm going to be her kid's godfather, too." The day of her exam was also the day I went for my very first prenatal checkup. Everyone thinks I'll break down, but I simply reach up and tear off my veil. Then, I calmly schedule an abortion. "She really is pitiful, being pregnant without a partner by her side. She deserves this wedding more than I do." Then, I raise my champagne glass to congratulate him. "Congratulations to you both. May your shotgun wedding be a happy one, especially since it's happening with a bun in the oven."

My boyfriend, Christopher Linden, was short of 20 thousand dollars for his medical treatment. To get the money as soon as possible, I participated in a rich man's game onboard a lavish cruise. I didn't bat an eye as I jumped into the ocean to search for a bracelet one of their female companions had dropped in the water. As I choked on the ocean water, I heard the man in the lead mock me, saying, "I've seen plenty of the dirty things people are willing to do for money, but you take the cake. You're even willing to give up your life for it." Someone teased, "Your girlfriend doesn't like money and is willing to forgo everything to care for you. Do you love her?" He snorted. "She's just a peasant from the countryside; I'm only fooling around with her. You have no idea how coarse her hands are—they disgust me whenever she touches me. How could I possibly fall for her?" I turned ashen at his words. He was Christopher, who was supposed to be wheelchair-bound. He was also supposed to be too broke for surgery. The peasant from the countryside he was talking about was me.
