We are rivals. Sworn enemies. And he is the only man to ignite a fire in my soul.

I walk a fine line between control and chaos, defined by my past and driven by my future. Nothing can stop me from protecting those I love.

Zack Lykaios is cunning and dangerous. He wants to destroy everything I've built on his ruthless march to the top.

All that I am, or ever will be, says I should avoid him.

Still, I've been tempted. One card game. One night of all-consuming passion. One craving I can't deny. One need I can never quench.

Wanting him can only lead to disaster. Loving him is guaranteed to destroy my world.
