Victor stared at June from across the store, genuinely shocked by her ruthless, commanding actions.
To everyone who knew her in their high–society circles, June Quinn had always been the quintessential “good girl‘–the sweet, innocent, fragile beauty who needed protecting.
He never expected this cold–blooded, calculating monster to exist beneath her perfect designer clothes.
But he didn’t hate it. In fact, it turned him on.
Times had changed. In this new, rotting world, Victor needed a gorgeous woman in his bed, sure. But even more than that, he needed a partner who could hold her own when the bullets started flying.
June was absolutely perfect. She could satisfy his ego and his desires, but she could also command a room and call the ruthless shots when things got ugly.
This was better than perfect. She was a weapon.
What the hell are you idiots waiting for? You heard June!” Victor barked at his heavily armed bodyguards, his voice booming through the warehouse :lub. “Get everyone into the manager’s office. Now!
