Summary

“Your parents spent years raising you, Beaumont. Is this really the best they could do?” “Your mother had nine months to get it right, Blackwood, and she still ended up with you?” Lucien went still. The faint amusement in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a cold, unreadable expression. Most people knew better than to provoke him. At thirty-one, he was a billionaire CEO whose empire spanned multiple industries, whose enemies rarely dared challenge him, and whose past held secrets he had spent years keeping buried. Marina Beaumont had apparently missed the memo. At twenty-three, she was a billionaire heiress, a world-famous fashion icon, and the creative director of her family’s fashion empire. Beautiful, cunning, and spectacularly difficult to control, she did exactly as she pleased and couldn’t care less who took offense. Least of all Lucien Blackwood. He was supposed to be off limits. She was never supposed to become a complication. Yet Marina had a talent for getting beneath his skin, challenging his authority, and testing the limits of his self-control. Now, the woman he should have dismissed had become the one person he couldn’t get out of his head. Lucien Blackwood had never taken kindly to wanting something he couldn’t control. Especially when wanting her threatened to expose the secrets that had made him who he was. He had built his empire on power and ruled his darker world through fear. Marina Beaumont might be his undoing.
