For years,
Seraphina "Sera" Calloway
has been
The Black Ledger's
most coveted escort-an untouchable enigma, desired by the world's most powerful men. She's built an empire within the empire, amassed a fortune, and now, she's walking away. One final contract. A billionaire husband. A life of security. A clean break.
But some obsessions don't let go.
One of her clients-a man she
thought
was just another name on her list-has been watching her, waiting. He doesn't want to win her. He wants to
own
her. And if she won't be his,
she'll be no one's.
If Sera dares to sign a contract with another man, he'll expose it all-the clients, the secrets, the hidden empire that
The Black Ledger
has spent years keeping in the shadows.
And he'll burn her with it.
For
Killian Shaw
, protecting Sera has never been just a job. He's been her shadow, her security, her silent protector-watching as she gave herself to men who could never deserve her, never love her the way
he
does. Years ago, he let her draw a hard line between them. That line doesn't exist anymore.
Because Sera may have been looking for a contract to buy her freedom, but
Killian is the only man willing to fight for it.
He's not just a bodyguard anymore. He's worked his way into
as a silent partner, and he's done watching her walk away from the one thing she refuses to admit she wants.
Him.
Her stalker has made it clear-choose him or it all goes up in flames.
The Black Ledger. The secrets. Celeste.
And Killian has worked too hard, bled too much, to let anyone take what belongs to
him.
