Katarina Meilers is a workaholic hiding behind interior design consulting so she doesn't have to face the invisible scars left as heritage by her mother's past. Not to mention her own emotional baggage. The well-constructed plan about her future goes down the drain the moment she locks eyes on the green gaze and arrogant smirk of Chase Prestian, one of the most influential men in the world. What scares her the most is the undeniable attraction between them. Chase, on the other hand, is relentless in his pursuit. Used to having everything his heart desires, he sees in her one more beautiful thing to conquer. The stronger he persists, the deeper it drives Katarina into a world of ostentatious wealth, danger, and a journey which will ignite her deepest desires. But when truths come to light about Chase's past, as well as her own, Katarina must overcome years of coping mechanisms or everything between them will turn to dust. Chase might make concessions for her sake, but he proudly owns the domineering traits of a man whose tendencies for control know no bounds.
