Eighteen-year-old Alec Thorndyke has been on his own since the day his father threw him out for being gay. He's working his way through school, living with the uncle who took him in, and holding it together with sheer stubbornness. When he walks into the glass-and-steel offices of Johan & Associates for a job interview, all he wants is a paycheck.
What he gets is Sávio Johan.
Brilliant. Ruthless. Untouchable. The kind of lawyer other lawyers are afraid of, with a reputation for women, money, and never staying. He is also the first man who looks at Alec as if he's the only person in the room, and he doesn't look away.
What starts as a power game turns into something neither of them can walk away from. Sávio wants Alec on his terms: his rules, his world, his control. Alec has never been a man who follows orders, but he has never wanted anyone this badly, either.
But Sávio's past isn't done with him. There are women who won't be forgotten, secrets he won't share, and a line between protection and possession that gets harder to see every day.
How far will Alec go to be loved by a man who doesn't know how to love without owning?
