Summary

By day, I’m a nurse trained to save lives. By night, I belong to a man who takes them. He comes from a world of wealth, power, and blood-bound loyalty–born into a family the media adores. They’re polished, respected, and untouchable. Nothing that stains them ever makes it to print. To the world, he’s a tycoon. To his enemies, a death sentence. I am none of those things. I go home to a cozy house, a loving family, a life built on honesty and routine. I believe in healing. In morality. In saving the people placed in my care. He believes in taking what’s his. I was never meant to be part of his world, and he never cared. My morals don’t soften him. My fear doesn’t stop him. And my love only makes him more dangerous. I never expected my life to change so completely. But loving him was never a choice. And leaving him was never an option.
