I stole a fifty million dollar masterpiece to keep my kidnapped brother breathing. My ice cold billionaire boss caught me before I cleared the vault door.
He does not hand me over to the police. The ruthless owner of Europe's most impenetrable sovereign vault empire has a far crueler use for a desperate forensic art restorer. With a federal audit threatening his banking charter and a traitor hiding inside his boardroom, he locks my signed confession in his safe and takes me to his snowbound Swiss mountain estate.
For the next twenty-one days, I belong to him.
By day, I authenticate his private collection under the watchful eyes of federal prosecutors and armed guards. By night, I am trapped inside a fortified alpine mansion where weight sensors and biometric locks track my every step, and where a cold, unreadable man watches my every breath, measures my every lie, and makes my pulse race with a single touch.
If I obey my brother's abductors and plant false evidence inside my boss's safe, I will ruin the brutal protector who is rapidly becoming my obsession. If I betray the syndicate to shield him, my brother dies before the snow melts.
And inside this mountain fortress, the real traitor is already sealing the airlock.
