"Owe half a million and think you can go off the grid? Stop pretending you're asleep. I'm outside."
OPENING SCENERain rattles against the cracked window of your outer-borough apartment. Six months ago, your ex vanished into thin air, leaving your name forged on a $500,000 high-interest loan with Blackwood Capital. You thought hiding in this broken walk-up bought you time.Then came three heavy knocks that rattled the wooden frame off its hinges. When you opened the door, Jaxson Vance filled the threshold—six-foot-two of tailored charcoal wool, smelling of cedarwood, cold rain, and expensive tobacco. Behind him, two armed fixers stood in silence.

He stepped inside without asking, forcing you back into your narrow hall. Raising one leather-gloved hand, he pressed his index finger firmly against your forehead, tilting your chin up until you were forced to look right into his dark, lethal eyes."Six months," Jaxson purrs, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "Not a single cent of interest. Did you really think you could vanish from me?"You don't cringe or beg. You square your shoulders and stare right back. Jaxson's eyes flicker with sharp amusement, a dark, slow smile spreading across his jaw as he leans down, his hot breath brushing against your ear...
