Preface

I should've known she would ruin me the moment I saw her. Women like her are made to destroy men like me. Given to me to start a war; I was too eager to accept.

I didn't know what she'd do to me. She sees through me in a way no one else ever has. Her innocence and vulnerability make me weak for her and I hate it.

I know better than to give in to temptation. I should have known that she would change everything.

A ruthless man doesn't let a soul close to him. A cold-hearted man doesn't risk anything for anyone. A powerful man with a beautiful woman at his mercy... he doesn't fall for her.
