Iris Sterling walked away from everything three years ago—her powerful adoptive brother Victor, the only family she ever knew, and a life of privilege. A death threat against Victor's mother forced her hand. She returned to her birth family, the Hales, only to find a cold welcome, a hostile adopted sister, and a fiancé who never loved her. When a single transaction on a black card finally gives away her location, Victor tracks her down in New York. He brings her back into his world, determined to protect her from the family that betrayed her. But as old wounds resurface and new enemies close in, Iris realizes her feelings for Victor run far deeper than she ever imagined. With danger on every side and a love she can't name, she must decide how close is too close.
