She must obey his command...
Desperate to escape her stifling royal life, Princess Valentina swaps places with her newly discovered identical twin. But fooling her billionaire âbossâ Achilles Casilieris is harder than Valentina imagined...especially when his every look makes her burn with longing!
When closed-off Achilles discovers the game Valentinaâs playing, heâs furious. But now the power is in his hands: itâs only a matter of time before her stunning facade cracks. Heâll push this perfect princess to her very limits...and heâs not afraid to use the full force of their attraction!
Achilles smiled as Valentina settled herself across the coffee table from him, with a certain inbred grace that whispered of palaces and comportment classes and a lifetime of genteel manners.
Because she thought she was tricking him.
Which meant he could trick her instead. A prospect his body responded to with great enthusiasm as he studied her, this woman who looked like an underling a man in his position would never have touched out of ethical considerationsâbut wasnât.
She wasnât his employee. He didnât pay her salary. And she wasnât bound to obey him in anything if she didnât feel like it.
But she had no idea that he knew that.
Achilles almost felt sorry for her. Almost.

CHAPTER ONE
ACHILLES CASILIERIS REQUIRED PERFECTION.
In himself, certainly. He prided himself on it, knowing all too well how easy it was to fall far, far short. And in his employees, absolutelyâor they would quickly find themselves on the other side of their noncompete agreements with indelible black marks against their names.
He did not play around. He had built everything he had from nothing, step by painstaking step, and he hadnât succeeded the way he hadâbuilding the recession-proof Casilieris Company and making his first million by the age of twenty-five, then expanding both his business and his personal fortune into the billionsâby accepting anything less than 100 percent perfection in all things. Always.
Achilles was tough, tyrannical when necessary, and refused to accept what one short-lived personal assistant had foolishly called âhuman limitationsâ to his face.
He was a man who knew the monster in himself. Heâd seen its face in his own mirror. He did not allow for âhuman limitations.â
Natalie Monette was his current executive assistant and had held the position for a record five years because she had never once asserted that she was human as some kind of excuse. In point of fact, Achilles thought of her as a remarkably efficient robotâthe highest praise he could think to bestow on anyone, as it removed the possibility of human error from the equation.
Achilles had no patience for human error.
Which was why his assistantâs behavior on this flight today was so alarming.
