Kiara built her reputation on one thing: pleasure. Born into the sex trade and raised by it, she knew nothing else. Two different women shaped her world, but the legacy remained the same—it was woven into her DNA. As a courtesan, love was never in her playbook. Until she met someone who changed everything: a man who played the game better than anyone. •••••••••••• Alexander commanded the Alexander Group, Texas's most formidable empire. At an age when most men were still finding themselves, he'd already earned the fear and respect of his entire workforce. Sharp-tongued and impossibly demanding, he answered to no one—except his grandmother, his one true weakness, and Mack, his closest confidant. Devastatingly attractive and ruthlessly promiscuous, Alexander lived by one rule: no attachments, no complications. When his family forced marriage upon him to curb his reckless lifestyle, he resisted with every fiber of his being. But when a seasoned seductress crosses his path, something shifts. What happens when a master manipulator meets his match in a woman who knows all the rules of the game?
