Sienna Marquez has spent her entire life looking put-together—polished heels, curated smiles, the perfect daughter of a well-known Manhattan family. Until the night she catches her long-time boyfriend cheating, throws a drink in his face at a charity gala, and becomes a viral meme within hours. Mortified and furious, she signs up for a midnight pole-dancing class, desperate to feel in control of something again. She expects a dim studio, a patient instructor, maybe a room full of bachelorette-party leftovers. She does not expect Adrian Leandro Vega. Adrian moves like a man who’s never doubted a thing in his life—powerful, precise, intoxicatingly fluid. Tattoos lick across his golden skin, muscles tense beneath the studio lights, and his eyes… his eyes say he knows exactly what she’s thinking. One slip. One drunken, impulsive night. One hotel suite she shouldn’t have entered. Sienna wakes up with a pounding headache, a missing bracelet, and the horrifying suspicion that she might have accidentally tried to pay the sexiest man she’s ever met. She runs. He doesn’t let her. A week later, Adrian shows up at her Brooklyn loft, holding her missing bracelet between two fingers, wearing a look that promises trouble… and maybe something worse. He wants compensation. Not in cash. Not in apologies. In time. Private training. Late-night rehearsals. Favors she can’t quite say no to. Boundaries that blur the moment he touches her. But Adrian Vega isn’t just a dangerously beautiful pole dancer. He’s the estranged son of a powerful nightlife dynasty. A man with enemies, shadows, and a past that claws at him every time he gets too close to someone. And Sienna Marquez? She’s the first person who threatens the walls he’s spent years building. She thought she’d stumbled into a fling with a man carved from temptation. She didn’t expect obsession. She didn’t expect protection. She didn’t expect him. And Adrian— Adrian never expected to want a woman he can’t have. Or to risk everything he walked away from… for the one woman he can’t let go. Dangerous chemistry. Slow-burn obsession. And one scorching pole dancer who refuses to stay out of her bed.
