“Go on,” he said, voice calm. “State your business.”
“I’m here to tell you that your lover—is trying to destroy my marriage.”
He took a sip from his glass, then hummed as if mildly entertained.
“Which one?” he asked quietly.
I blinked confused.
“Do I look like a man who keeps just one lover?” he asked, voice low, almost mocking.
And honestly, he didn’t. Not in the slightest.
Before I could take another breath, his index finger slid under my chin, tilting my face up. My eyes widened as I met his, dark, unreadable, yet pulling me in like a current I couldn’t escape.
And to be honest, I didn’t like us being this close—nothing about it felt right.

THIS BOOK IS FOR VIEWERS ABOVE THE AGE OF 18. IT MAY CONTAIN EXPLICIT AND VIOLENT SCENES NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL VIEWERS.
Claire Anthony thought betrayal would come with apologies—not an invoice. When she discovers her husband’s affair, she goes after the other woman’s boyfriend: Liam King, a young, ruthless morally gray powerbroker.
One knock becomes a rule, and one call turns Claire into the one person everyone suddenly needs—caught in a dark romance built on obsession, power exchange, and revenge. Trapped between a collapsing marriage, divorce-level betrayal, and a man who thrives on control, Claire learns the difference between being used and choosing to play back.
But power games don’t stay clean, and desire doesn’t respect boundaries. In King’s world, survival is simple: obey… or outsmart him.
