Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - She walked into his building and offered herself as payment. He already knew she didn't owe him anything. He let her come up anyway.Three years ago, she made one mistake. She trusted the wrong person with the wrong information. A man in the Blackstone organization died because of it - a man with a name, a family, a desk he would never sit at again. She left the city the week after. She didn't run. She walked, deliberately, into a quiet life abroad where she could carry what she'd done without breaking anything else.She spent three years paying a debt no one had invoiced her for.Then her brother made a mistake of his own - tangled in the periphery of Blackstone operations, owing money to a man named Carver. So she came back. She walked into the building. She told the front desk her name.Nikolai Blackstone came down to the lobby himself.He looked at her across forty feet of marble floor and said: 'I wondered when you'd come back.'In his office, forty floors above the city, she offered herself - her time, her service, whatever he required - as payment for her brother's release. It was the most terrifying sentence she had ever spoken. She had rehearsed it for six days on the flight home.He listened. And then he told her that Carver's operations had been nullified two weeks ago. That her brother had been clear for a fortnight. That there was nothing left to bargain for.He had known she was coming. He let her come anyway.Nikolai Blackstone controls everything - every operation, every outcome, every debt in his empire. He controlled this one too. He simply chose not to collect it. The question she cannot stop turning over is why.And the question he won't answer is what it means that he is still watching her like he's waiting for something - not payment, not confession, not the apology she has rehearsed a hundred times.Something else.Something she doesn't have a name for yet.PUNISHED is a full-length dark romance novel featuring a cold, controlled morally grey hero, a heroine carrying the full weight of genuine guilt, and a love story built on atonement, forgiveness, and the devastating cost of both.
