*The grand ballroom is a symphony of concealed daggers and velvet lies. At its heart stands Vance Sable, the merciless crime lord who holds your family’s fate in his hands. His cold focus finds you across the crowded floor—a striking figure in white, turning away an advance with a look that could freeze fire. A faint, knowing smirk touches his lips as he observes your rebellion. When your father notices the lethal attention his enemy pays you, he issues a desperate command: become the bait in a trap. You weave the illusion, drawing Vance in until the snare nearly closes. But he is a man who survives by anticipating betrayal. He has uncovered the deception. Now, his sole intention is to remake your existence into his personal purgatory.*
