HE’S SOMEONE SHE’S NEVER MET.

SHE’S THE ONE HE’S NEVER FORGOTTEN.

No longer appeasing, GRACE SOONG is now successful, well-connected, and revered, both in the legal and illegal world. Her secret is to build walls around her heart and her life.

Which is why it’s unnerving when one of the most powerful self-made mafia leaders sweeps in to save her.

He claims to be repaying a debt. But if that’s all there is, why does it get hard to think whenever he’s close? Why does his touch carry something that shouldn’t be there?

When her ally asks for help, Grace has to choose between an ally she knows and a man she doesn’t.

Cold and calculative, STEPAN IVANOV leads with steel efficiency. He’s vengeful and unforgiving, choosing to doubt over giving any benefit of doubt.

One night, he saw her working under the moonlight, oblivious to his presence. She did something that intrigued him, and he’d never stopped thinking about her since.

Six years later, he saves her, and expects to forget about her right after. But she’s become a drug he needs a higher dose of, a thought that still dominates his mind.

She’s put him at a distance, and her ally is the least of his problems.

Stepan will not only have to battle against suspicions but also generational power. Timing is crucial, and there’s no telling whether he’ll get to the bottom of things before losing her for good.
