My ex downgraded to my former best friend…
So I upgraded to his ruthless, untouchable older brother.
At a gala dripping with New York’s elite,
my trash ex walks in with the girl who used to hold my hair back in college.
“Poor Lyra,” she says sweetly. “Still think you belong here?”
Her gaze drags over my body.
Laughter ripples. Soft and cruel.
It takes Julian Volkov four words to ruin them both.
“She’s here with me.”
His hand settles on my back like a warning.
Silver hair.
And a presence that makes powerful men look away.
He’s the feral king the Volkov empire answers to.
And apparently… my new boss.
He doesn’t raise his voice. He doesn’t need to.
“You’re both fired.”
Then Julian offers me the one thing I can’t refuse: money for my father’s surgery.
Everyone thinks he saved me.
I know better. His world is venomous. And the war would come for me first.
Good thing Julian Volkov has one rule:
Touch what’s his… and you don’t get to walk away.
