In the criminal underworld of the Los Angeles shipyards, a desperate crew turns to the untouchable and dangerously self-assured Eleanor Vale, the enigmatic NUN, whose conservative elegance hides a razor-sharp reputation. They offer her a small fortune to negotiate with the only suppliers who can save them: the dangerously obsessive Romanian twins, Lucian and Irina Dragomir. What begins as a calculated negotiation erupts into raw, boundary-shattering desire: Irina’s knife slices silk and restraint alike; Lucian claims what he’s craved for years; and Eleanor—fiercely in control yet deliciously undone—pays the price in pleasure and power. Eleanor learns that walking into the fire is easy… walking out untouched is another matter entirely.
