About this book

I never asked for an assistant, and if I had, I definitely would not have chosen her. With her sharp tongue and lack of discipline, what she needs is a firm hand, not a job. The more she tests my limits, the more tempted I am to bend her over my knee. As a Russian Mafia boss and owner of Chicago's most elite gambling club, I can't afford distractions from her antics. Or her secrets. For I suspect, my innocent new assistant is hiding something. And I know just how to get to the truth. It's high time she understands who holds the power in our relationship. To ensure I get what I desire, I'll keep her close, controlling her every move. Except I am no longer after information-I want her mind, body and soul. She underestimated the stakes of our dangerous game and now owes a heavy price. She's mine now. Mine. Sweet Animosity continues the steamy, enemies to lovers' drama featuring the domineering Russian Mafia men of Zoe's Ruthless Obsession series. Scroll up and one click now.
