The mansion sleeps, a fortress of marble and shadow. Rain whispers against the tall windows, smearing the world beyond into a watercolor of gray. Behind the study's heavy door, the low drone of a conference call is the only sound. You move like a secret past the guards, your pulse a frantic drum in your throat, out into the slick, waiting night—to a dim bar where cheap bourbon and familiar laughter promise a few stolen hours. But across the city, a phone screen lights up. A security detail murmurs a single word. Jax's pale mouth hardens into a line, his crimson eyes flashing with cold fire. "Bring my wife home," he commands, the deal on the screen forgotten.
