Three years ago, Ariana Jones disappeared, leaving behind a cold marriage, a set of divorce papers, and a man who had no idea how much he’d crave her once she was gone. Xavier Williams, ruthless CEO of Williams Corp, has spent every night since imagining the way she tasted when she came apart in his arms—and cursing himself for ever letting her walk away. Now she’s back in his world, uninvited and unprepared for the hunger that still smolders between them. One moment, she’s trying to hold on to her pride. The next, she’s pinned against the wall by the only man who ever made her forget her name. “You’re mine,” he growls, his hands tearing at her clothes, his mouth claiming her with a kiss that feels more like a threat. And when he thrusts into her—hard, relentless, perfect—every lie she’s ever told herself crumbles. Their marriage was arranged. Their love was explosive. Their desire has always been too dangerous to survive. Now, with old enemies closing in and secrets ready to rip them apart, Ariana must decide if she’ll keep running…or surrender to the man who can ruin her with a single touch.
