Ballrooms & Blackmail

This was supposed to be a simple bargain…Falling in love wasn't part of the plan. I know better than to trust powerful men-especially one whose world is built on secrets and careful control.He wanted a way to get close to me. I only wanted to keep my distance.But someone out there is watching us. Waiting to destroy everything I've fought to keep safe.Now the only person standing between me and ruin is one I can't dare to trust…the man who makes me believe in stolen kisses, whispered promises, and moments that feel too much like forever.Walking away will keep us safe.But some risks are impossible to ignore…even when the cost could be everything.
