Break Every Rule But His

He spent eighteen months preparing for her arrival. She came to shut his casino down.

Octavia Rhodes has investigated some of the most corrupt casinos in the country. Eleven have already fallen under her scrutiny.

The Meridian should be number twelve.

But when she arrives, she finds someone waiting.

Sebastian Caine is the casino's enigmatic compliance chief, a former FBI officer with a dangerous reputation and a talent for uncovering secrets.

He has everything Octavia needs to expose a multimillion-dollar blackmail network.

Including a secure vault containing evidence powerful people would kill to destroy.

There's just one problem.

Sebastian built the vault with her in mind.

He knows her favorite tea. The temperature she prefers. The tiny gestures she makes when she's frustrated. He's spent years studying the woman whose authority he now desperately needs.

Octavia doesn't trust him.

But when their investigation puts them both in danger, they have no choice but to work together inside the vault, surrounded by evidence and secrets neither can afford to lose.

As the boundaries between professional duty and forbidden attraction begin to crumble, Octavia realizes that Sebastian hasn't simply prepared a place for her.

He's been preparing for a future with her.

He needs her to follow the evidence.

She needs to find out whether the man who knows her every habit is protecting the truth—or controlling it.
