#1 New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Day,
America's premier author of provocative fiction, delivers
the debut novel from Cosmo Red-Hot Reads from
Harlequin.
The realization that Jax still affected me so strongly was a
jagged pill to swallow. He'd only been part of my life for
five short weeks two years ago. But now he was back. Walking
into a deal I'd worked hard to close. And God, he was
magnificent. His eyes were a brown so dark they were nearly
black. Thickly lashed, they were relentless in their
intensity. Had I really thought they were soft and warm?
There was nothing soft about Jackson Rutledge. He was a hard
and jaded man, cut from a ruthless cloth.
In that moment I understood how badly I wanted to unravel
the mystery of Jax. Bad enough that I didn't mind how much
it was going to cost me...
