Paige Danger used to pull me in like gravity. Until two people died because of me.
So when Vanya Orlov walks into my library asking for a rare book, I know exactly what lies beneath his charm and charismatic good looks. Trouble with a capital T. And I say no.
But he’ll stop at nothing, including seduction, to get what he wants. Now he’s discovered the secret that can destroy the carefully ordered life I’ve constructed.
He may have blackmailed me into helping him, but there’s no way I’m giving him what he wants. Not the book. And definitely not me. Except my body betrays me.
He infiltrates my senses and frees a feeling long buried inside me. Something untamed and primal. Something that makes me want more. Makes me want him.
I already learned the hard way my wildness gets people hurt. If I’m not careful, this time, the causality may be me.
Vanya I’m chasing down another cryptic clue for the Kozlov brotherhood. This time, the target is a rare book. I just need to persuade a fussy librarian to give me access to it.
As jobs go, this one should be easy. My charm is legendary. And this librarian—prim, proper, beautiful, and full of pent-up sexual energy just waiting to be unraveled—is low-hanging fruit.
She yearns to let go, and I’m just the man to unleash the reckless sensuality hiding inside the careful little archivist. My plan is simple. Get close to Paige, get the book, get out.
Only, the way she kisses me is as intoxicating as it is dangerous, like she’ll consume me whole if I let her. And I know if I don’t walk away soon, I’ll be the one whose heart is destroyed.
