SHE WAS BROUGHT INTO MY HOUSE TO BE TAMED. I am the master of the Onyx Penthouse. My life is built on iron-clad discipline and absolute control. I rule my empire with a cold heart and a steady hand. Then Yara Abernathy arrived. She is my wife's daughter and the greatest threat to my composure. She is a firebrand who thinks she can dismantle my authority with a smirk and a silk slip. She is wrong. My son watches us with suspicious eyes. My wife is thousands of miles away. In the silence of my library, the air burns with her defiance. Yara wants to break my rules. I want to break her spirit. Every punishment I deliver only binds us closer together. I am a man of logic losing himself to a fever of possession. We are living a double life in a house made of glass. I claim her in the shadows of my office and under the table while the world looks on. The risk of ruin is a constant companion. I have spent a lifetime building my reputation, but I will watch it crumble for the taste of her surrender. I will destroy everything I have built to ensure she is mine forever.
