She broke into his office. He broke into her life.
When Elena Hart risks everything to expose corruption inside a ruthless corporation, she finds herself face-to-face with Damien Blackridge—the icy CEO known for destroying his enemies. But instead of turning her in, he makes her an offer: help him clean up the rot inside his empire... or walk away and let it burn. What begins as a tense alliance quickly ignites into something far more dangerous. Passion. Secrets. Power plays. And the one thing neither of them expected—love.

When desperation forces Elena Hart to break into Blackridge Tower, she's not searching for secrets—she's fighting to save her sister's life. But what she finds instead is Damien Blackridge: cold, calculating, and more dangerous than any man she's ever met. The billionaire CEO should have called the police. Instead, he makes a proposal that changes everything.

Damien wants justice too. He suspects a powerful syndicate inside his own company is siphoning funds from the charity division into executive pockets—and possibly running darker operations beneath the surface. He needs someone bold, unconnected, and fearless to go undercover. He needs her.

As Elena dives deep into the twisted underbelly of corporate fraud, she uncovers truths darker than she imagined: stolen medical trials, buried patients, and a past that ties her family directly to the company's crimes. And through it all, the tension between her and Damien crackles hotter than either of them can deny.

But some enemies don't play fair. And when the secrets turn deadly, Elena and Damien must decide what they're willing to sacrifice—not just for justice, but for each other.

Claimed by the Cold CEO is a slow-burn romantic suspense novel where high stakes, forbidden attraction, and corporate conspiracy collide. Perfect for fans of intense chemistry, morally gray heroes, and heroines who won't back down.
