“"Fine," Drake said, like the word cost him something. "She will tutor him. But this changes nothing between us." Lilian Cross came to that fundraiser to play her violin and disappear. Instead she walked straight into the coldest, most arrogant man she had ever met, spilled his drink down her dress, and told him exactly what she thought of him. She never expected him to remember her name. She definitely never expected him to personally request it. Drake Sterling does not believe in love. He watched it destroy his parents and swore he would never hand anyone that kind of power over him. Attraction is simple. Attraction he can control. But the moment Lilian walked away from him without looking back, something in him refused to let go. Now his little brother needs a music theory tutor before finals, and the only person qualified is the one woman Drake swore he would keep his distance from. Forced into his world of glass penthouses, roaring engines, and cameras that never stop flashing, Lilian tells herself this is strictly business. Drake tells himself the same thing. Neither of them believes it for very long. But Lilian is still nursing a broken heart, still catching herself staring at Noah, the quiet artist who has never once noticed her back. And Drake is not a man who shares, waits, or loses gracefully. As Lilian gets pulled deeper into Drake's world, she discovers he is not just protecting his brother's grades. He is protecting a family secret he has never told anyone, one that could unravel everything the moment she gets close enough to see it. Drake Sterling always wins. He has never once lost a race, a rival, or a woman he decided he wanted. He is not about to start now.”
