Cruel. Coldblooded. Hades in
a Brioni suit.
Cillian Fitzpatrick has been
dubbed every wicked thing on planet earth.
To the media, he is The
Villain.
To me, he is the man who
(reluctantly) saved my life.
Now I need him to do me
another, small solid.
Bail me out of the mess my
husband got me into.
What’s a hundred grand to one
of the wealthiest men in America, anyway?
Only Cillian doesn’t hand out
free favors.
The price for the money, it
turns out, is my freedom.
Now I’m the eldest
Fitzpatrick brother’s little toy.

Too bad Cillian forgot one,
tiny detail.

goddess of spring; she was also the queen of death.
He thinks I’ll buckle under
the weight of his mind games.
He is about to find out the
most lethal poison is also the sweetest.

Excerpt
I
leaned against the doorframe, hands tucked in my front pockets, and observed.
It took her three minutes to notice me. Another two to lift her jaw off the
floor, straighten her spine, and turn scarlet. Our eyes met across the room,
and that nagging murmur in my chest happened again.
Get that checked. If you drop dead from a heart attack at
forty, you’ll have no one else to blame. She winced, looking like I physically
slapped her.
“Mr.
Fitzpatrick.”
“Miss
Penrose.”
“Veitch,”
she corrected, just to spite me.
“Not
for long,” I noted dryly. “A word?”
“I
know many. My favorite one right now is—leave.”
“You
want to hear me out.” I cracked my knuckles. “Now say goodbye to your little
friends.”
She
looked back and forth between the kids and me, then turned and murmured
something to the teacher next to her, and hurried my way, dunking her head
down. “What are you doing here?”
She
closed the door behind her, whisper-shouting.
I’ve
been asking myself the same question since bailing on Keith and his snooze-fest
speech. What the hell was I doing here?
