Winning her was war. Keeping her will take everything I have left.

I know every filthy fantasy my wife-to-be has ever written.
Unfortunately for her, I have a few of my own.

I fought half of Geneva to make Lena Monroe mine, and I’d happily do it again. She wears my initial around her neck, sleeps in my bed, and has somehow managed to bring my eleven-year-old daughter back to life after years of grief. Her teenage son is another matter, but I’ve operated on men with better odds of survival than my relationship with that boy.

For once, I have something worth coming home to. Naturally, the rest of my life is going to hell.

My best friend is dying in a bunker that officially doesn’t exist, and keeping him alive could cost me my medical license, my freedom, and whatever remains of my conscience. Meanwhile, Lena’s influential ex-husband has decided that destroying me is the most efficient way to get his family back. He’s poisoning his son against her, investigating my past, and getting considerably closer to a secret I’ve spent years making sure nobody finds.

Especially Lena.

Because long before she fell in love with me, I made a decision that changed her life. She still believes our paths crossed by chance, and I’ve enjoyed every second of letting her think so.

Now the pressure is getting to her, and I know Lena well enough to recognize what she needs when the bedroom door closes. I’ve read the fantasies she publishes under another name, including the ones she’d rather die than admit belong to her. Our private games have always given her permission to surrender control, but lately she’s been asking me to take things further.

I can give her everything she wants. The question is whether she’ll still want me when she discovers what I’ve done.

Her ex-husband thinks he can use my past to take her away from me.

He might be right about the past. He’s made a serious mistake about the man he’s dealing with.
