Trapped in His Shadow
A grumpy billionaire. A desperate stranger. One storm, one mistake... and a connection neither of them expected.

When Layla Carter stumbles into the wrong penthouse during a midnight downpour, she doesn't expect to come face-to-face with Aiden Wolfe—a ruthless billionaire with no patience for surprises and even less tolerance for guests. But when the storm traps them together in his high-rise fortress, sparks fly and secrets start to surface.

Layla's life is unraveling, and a warm couch in a cold penthouse seems like her only option. But Aiden's world is colder than the storm outside—until Layla's chaos begins to thaw the walls he's spent years building. As attraction simmers and pasts collide, what begins as a reluctant arrangement turns into something neither of them can walk away from.

But Aiden has scars he refuses to show, and Layla has nowhere else to go. In a world of rules, tension, and locked doors, will they find a way to trust each other—or will their demons burn everything down?

Perfect for fans of grumpy-sunshine romance, slow-burn tension, and forced proximity with emotional depth, Trapped in His Shadow is a standalone romance that will keep your heart racing until the final page.
