About this ebook
He rules a city built on secrets. I've been running from mine for years.
For the last eight years, I’ve been on the run, running from my past, my secrets, and the threat that stalks me in the shadows. I know they'll hunt me forever, so every day I must stay one step ahead of the brutal men who want me dead, even though I've done nothing to deserve it. Apparently, being guilty by association is treason enough.
Then one night changes everything.
A stranger behind the wheel. A getaway in the dead of night. And a man far more dangerous than the ones hunting me.
Luca Fournier isn’t just powerful—he’s untouchable. Known as The Emperor, he governs the criminal underworld of Paris with ruthless precision, answering to no one and fearing nothing. When I crash into his world, he offers me protection. . . for a price. My willing surrender.
Cold. Commanding. Unforgiving. And the only man who can keep me alive.
But what begins as a desperate arrangement quickly ignites into something far more passionate. Because beneath Luca’s brutal exterior is a man who doesn’t bend—and a man who doesn’t share. I'm not the kind of woman who belongs to anyone . . . and I quickly only want to be his. The rest of Paris sees a ruthless authoritarian, but Luca shows me a version of him that none have ever lived to see.
Gentle. Honest. Caring. A man different than all the rest.
But in a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is paid in blood, the past never stays buried.
And loving The Emperor may cost me everything.
