She is poison. And I want it all.

-Archer Crone-

If we knew that Spring Break on a tropical island would turn deadly, would we have still gone?

That's the question I've asked myself for two years.

We came from the richest families in the world. We were supposed to be invincible. But the week we partied on Zion Island, the world was ravaged by war.

In the two years since, I've made Zion Island a safe haven. I lost people who loved me. I made a home for hundreds who hate me. I built a pharmaceutical empire that gives hope to future generations.

Being a king is a solitary journey. To avoid insanity, I have to keep my mind at peace.

But then I meet her.

Katura F*cking Ortiz.

A beautiful spy, sent to my island by a Russian mobster.

Her name is abrasive. She is abrasive.

She makes me angry, gets under my skin, goes against the grain. But I can't get her out of my mind.

With all the money poured into this island, the place is a tropical gilded cage.

But she... She is a breath of fresh air.

And now her cover is blown. So guess what?

She is my prisoner.

She wanted to play? We'll play.

By my rules.

Welcome to Zion, wild thing...

* It is strongly recommended to read Outcast (Ruthless Paradise #1) and Petal (Ruthless Paradise #2) prior to reading Chancellor (Ruthless Paradise # 3) to better understand Zion's history and the chemistry between the characters. The book is part of a duet and ends on a cliffhanger. It contains situations for mature readers only.
