Isla MacRae rules her empire with an iron fist and a velvet glove. Her nightclub, The Black Ledger, is a temple to controlled desire-a place where power is currency and surrender is art. She answers to no one.
Until three men expose what she's hidden from the world: the human trafficking operating beneath her floors.
James Reeves, the FBI agent investigating her, should be her enemy. Dmitri Volkov, the Russian operative sent to neutralize her, should be her rival. Instead, they become her salvation-or her ruin.
As Isla uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into her own blood, she's forced to confront an impossible truth: survival requires surrender. Empire demands sacrifice. And love, in all its dangerous forms, asks her to choose between everything she built and everything she never knew she needed.
In a world where power is the only currency that matters, Isla must decide what she's willing to spend it on.
Three souls. One choice. Everything to lose.
