When college student Emma Sinclair spends the summer at her best friend Ivy’s billionaire mansion, she expects luxury—not the electric attention of Ivy’s father, Alexander Cole, and his two ruthless partners, Damien Wolfe and Sebastian Blackwell. Three men. One house. One rule she can’t afford to break: don’t want what you can’t have.
But the longer Emma lives inside their world of power, privilege, and control, the harder it is to pretend she’s just a guest. Their stares turn into boundaries. Boundaries turn into demands. And every stolen moment risks shattering the only friendship Emma can’t lose.
Then a dangerous rival notices the crack in their perfect empire—and decides Emma is the fastest way to make them bleed. Now desire isn’t the only thing with teeth. If Emma gives in, she could lose Ivy, her freedom… and maybe her life. But walking away might be impossible—because these men don’t chase. They claim.
