“Try not to learn too much.” The first thing Bennet Coleman says to you, he says with a smile. Everyone in Moscow knows the story. Three years ago, his fiancée vanished, and his ex-girlfriend was pulled from the Moskva. The Coleman name made sure no one asked questions. Now the heir to Coleman Holdings is a walking cautionary tale: charming, beautiful, and impossible to look at without feeling like prey. Girls dare each other to flirt with him. Nobody dares to be alone with him. You’re the new hire at the family’s walled estate, a forensic accountant brought in quietly to find the mole in their books. You aren’t here for gossip, and you aren’t here to be afraid. You’re here for the numbers. Yet, the numbers don’t match the headlines. Someone paid for each victim’s silence before she died. The trail leads to Bennet’s accounts, yet the signatures aren’t his. The Colemans launder money for half the city, which means you now know too much to leave. The only man in the house who seems to want you alive is the one everyone says kills women. He is dangerous. He is violent. He is possessive. He is not the monster they’ve made him, but he is not innocent either. Trust him, fear him, or follow the money alone. Every choice you make will cost something; maybe even your heart.
