It was supposed to be a simple infiltration.
One mission. One rival territory. One clean escape.
But nothing is simple when stepping into the Mori family’s den — especially when no one has ever entered their territory and left without consequences.
Ciel Giovanni is no ordinary woman.
Princess and heir to the powerful Giovanni family, she is ruthless, fiery, and dangerous — and the future face of the prestigious Belle Fashion House. Trained to survive in a world of crime, bloodlines, and betrayal, Ciel knows better than to make mistakes.
Fyodor Vasiliev is one.
The cold, calculating czar of the Vasiliev family and CEO of V Engines, Fyodor will stop at nothing to get what he wants — and once his path collides with Ciel’s, obsession follows.
A single drunken night.
A reckless encounter fueled by lust and anonymity.
Neither knowing the other’s true identity — or that they belong to rival families sworn to destroy each other.
When secrets unravel and desire turns dangerous, the line between enemy and obsession blurs.
What happens when he becomes desperate to find her?
And what happens when she realizes she was never meant to escape him?
