About this listen
I came to his fortress as a weapon—
calculating, cold, and committed to my mission.
Only show them what I want them to see, never let them in.
This mantra kept me alive, kept me focused.
Pavel was supposed to be just a target.
The ruthless commander who executes spies without mercy.
My enemy. My mark.
What I never expected was for my own heart to become the battlefield.
With each passing day in his presence,
the line between deception and desire blurs.
I can see the way he looks at me like he wants to devour me.
His touch ignites a fire that consumes my every defense.
His kiss makes me forget why I came,
The mask I once wore forgotten, replaced by an intense desire to expose my very soul to him.
I found an unexpected allegiance in the very man I was sent to destroy,
yet the moment this truth surfaces,
either my handler or Pavel himself will surely end me with a bullet.

Story
He’s the enemy of my family— And the first man to ever touch me. One second, I’m walking down the aisle. The next, I’m in a cabin with a mafia enforcer who looks at me like I’m already his. Max Mastroni is cold. Brutal. Covered in scars. He says I’m just leverage—bait for my father. But his hands say something else. So do the things he makes me feel. I try to run. I scream, I fight, I curse his name. But he doesn’t care that I’m untouched. He just says he’ll ruin me gently. I thought I knew what hate was. Turns out it looks a lot like obsession. And sounds a lot like his...

I never meant to fall for my best friend’s father—the grumpy, gorgeous billionaire I should’ve run from. One broken-down car. One reckless night. And suddenly, I’m in Calder Thorne’s arms, breaking every rule without even knowing it. I thought he was just a brooding mechanic with rough hands and a wicked mouth—one drink, one kiss, one night we swore to forget. The real heartbreak comes later—when I realize he’s the father of the one person I can’t afford to lose. He’s older. Hardened by loss. Off-limits in every way. And when he touches me, it’s like he’s starving ...

He’s my ex-boyfriend's best friend and is a constant reminder of everything I went through. Being his secretary has been, let's just say, challenging.
