He was destruction wrapped in charm. She was the one thing he couldn’t control. Liora Wren never wanted to be seen. But Lucien Mercer sees everything.

He’s ready to burn the world to keep her.

Naomi Reyes knows one thing for certain, people like her do not belong in the world of men like Julian Castillo. He is cold, untouchable, and dangerously powerful. She is struggling.... trying to survive another day. Becoming the live-in maid of his mansion was supposed to be simple. Temporary. So was the attraction. But somewhere between late nights, stolen kisses, and a relationship that was never meant to mean anything, Naomi and Julian become addicted to each other in ways neither of them can control.
