Investigative journalist Samantha Peyton is one bad break away from losing everything. Her career hangs by a thread, her married boss barely notices her, and her bank account is running on fumes. So when she forges press credentials to infiltrate the Menagerie Royale—the exclusive zoo of billionaire recluse Zachary Vane—she's not just chasing a story. She's chasing survival.

But the Menagerie is not what it seems.

Beyond the pristine public exhibits and award-winning conservation programs lies a hidden world: an animal-free playground for the elite, where the wealthy mingle and socialize behind closed doors.

Zachary Vane does not tolerate intruders. When he discovers Samantha sneaking through his domain, he offers her a choice: take a pre-written fluff piece and walk away, or stay as his "guest" and see everything—bound by a vow of secrecy that could destroy her career if broken.

She stays.

Drawn into a world of decadent masquerades and daring games, Samantha finds herself falling for the very man she came to expose. But the deeper she enters his world, the darker the secrets she uncovers—illegal financial operations hidden beneath the zoo's gleaming surface, past lovers who vanished without a trace, and a man who collects people as casually as he collects power...

Now she holds the secrets that could destroy him. However, exposing them would make her his enemy forever. Can she expose the darkness without losing her heart to the man who sees the wildness in her own soul?
