Victoria Black has one job.
Get inside Ares Ravenscroft’s life — and burn it.
He is New York’s most dangerous lawyer. Six-foot-five. Ice-grey eyes. A man who ends careers before lunch and does not chase women. The son of the man who erased her family when she was ten and left her for dead.
Fifteen years later, she walks into his firm with a fake name, a perfect mouth, and a smile she practiced until it looked like innocence.
She is supposed to be his assistant.
She is supposed to make him want her — just enough to open the door his father hides behind.
Ares sees the act.
He hires her anyway.
Now she sits outside his office with his coffee, his calendar, and a plan that only works if he never looks too hard.
He looks too hard.
She came to destroy him.
He let her.
Because Victoria Black was his the moment he saw her.
