Live-in tutor wanted for four-year-old. Must be willing to relocate to a remote mountain estate. $3K/week cash.

On the run from ruthless killers, I'm down to ten bucks in my wallet and a half-tank of gas in my ancient car when I spot the ad. The job sounds like the answer to my prayers, but there's a catch.

The child's father is the most beautiful, most dangerous man I've ever met.

Darkly seductive and filthy rich, Nikolai Molotov is a tantalizing mystery, a lethally alluring contradiction. Bruised knuckles and tailored suits, tender endearments and dirty promises-my new employer draws me in like a magnet, even as my instincts scream for me to run.

I should've heeded them... because I'm not the only one with secrets.

My safe haven just might be the devil's lair, and once he's claimed me, it will be too late to run.
