Knox Montgomery My obsession with Emily Campbell started long ago. Back when her age made her completely off-limits, and her father's marriage to my mother made it socially frowned upon. Time would've resolved both of those things, except my mother stole seventy million dollars from me, and Emily's father was complicit in the crime. When the time comes for them to repay that debt, Emily's father offers her up on a silver platter. I turned him down because I'm many things, but certainly not a cliché. Fast forward to today: Emily's a woman now, our parents are no longer married, and there's nothing standing in my way. Only now, I've got another obsession. His name is Kieran O'Rourke. Being one of the wealthiest men in the world, I have an endless supply of resources, a myriad of distractions, an abundance of patience, and an undeniable desire to introduce Emily and Kieran to one another. The only thing I know for certain is that when I stake my claim on them, life as we know it will be irrevocably changed. This is my tale of obsession, betrayal, and surrender. Some might say I have my work cut out for me. Good thing I enjoy a challenge.
