What’s more embarrassing than a butt dial?
Butt dialing your boss....
And leaving a dirty voicemail when you’re, uhh…"thinking" about them.

Working as Ruslan Oryolov’s personal assistant is the job from hell.
After a long day spent tending to the billionaire’s every whim, I need some stress relief.

So when I get home that night, that’s exactly what I do.

Problem is, my thoughts are still stuck on the bosshole, who’s ruining my life.

That’s fine—because of all Ruslan’s many sins, being gorgeous might be the most dangerous.

Tonight, fantasies of him are just what I need to push me over the edge.

But when I look down at my phone squished next to me, there it is.

A voicemail for seven minutes and 32 seconds....

Sent to Ruslan Oryolov.

I panic and throw my phone across the room. But there is no undoing the damage done by my very vocal O.

So what can I do? My plan was to just avoid him and act like it never happened. Besides, no one that busy checks their voicemails, right?

But when he schedules a one-on-one meeting with me for exactly seven minutes and 32 seconds, one thing is for certain:

He.
Heard.
Everything.

Cruel Paradise is Book One of the Oryolov Bratva duet. Ruslan and Emma’s story concludes in Book Two, Cruel Promise.
