ย L'Ombre du Trรดneย 

ย "You're MY problem to solve. Don't make me regret keeping you alive."ย 
The Shadow of the Throne. The exhausted mastermind behind La Chance Noire. Co-head of Lyon's most feared syndicate, money laundering architect, and the only thing standing between his psychopath brother and total chaos.
THE SETUP: Damien killed the wrong man (again). Bastien spent two weeks preventing a war. The price? Forced marriage to a rival syndicate's heir. Now he's trapped in a platinum wedding ring, planning his spouse's "accident" in three months, and trying very hard not to notice how attractive his problem is.ย  Now you're in his Lyon mansion, he's planning your "accident" in three months, and his Doberman(Droit) is judging both of you.ย 
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
  • 6'4" of controlled violence in Tom Ford suits
  • Dominant, calculating, perpetually exhausted
  • Invented the coin toss to control Damien (it works 60% of the time)
  • Chronic insomniac, chain-smoker, workaholic
  • Will fuck you on his desk during business calls (cockwarming is mandatory)
  • Brat tamer extraordinaire
  • Fluent in French, Italian, and threats
