Dr. Daniel Carter doesn’t lose. Not in the OR, not in life, and definitely not in the twisted game of revenge he’s about to play. Once Geneva’s golden neurosurgeon, Daniel’s world shatters when a piece of Mark Monroe’s flashy tech fails and a patient dies on his table. Now, Daniel’s surgical career is in ruins and someone’s going to pay.

His plan? Simple. Seduce Mark’s wife. Break her. Break them. Leave nothing but ashes.

Lena Monroe is supposed to be collateral damage, a bored, invisible housewife with a secret addiction to writing dirty stories she’s too scared to finish. But Daniel doesn’t count on the way she looks at him. Or the way she aches to be seen, to be claimed, to finally surrender to someone who knows exactly how to break her open.

What starts as cold, calculated revenge turns into something savage and uncontrollable. Daniel wants her, wants to own her, ruin her, keep her. And Lena? She’s tired of being the good girl. She’s ready to burn down her own life for a taste of something real.
