He built an empire from shadows.
She walked in with sunlight—and secrets that could destroy them both.

When Ellie Harper, a bright-eyed PR specialist with a sharp wit and an untamed heart, accepts an assignment at Kane Enterprises, she knows she's stepping into the lion's den. What she doesn't expect is Victor Kane—the notoriously cold CEO with a ruthless reputation and walls built high around his heart.

Beneath his tailored suits and unforgiving glare lies a man haunted by a dark past—a man Ellie can't help but want to understand, even if it means risking everything.

Tasked with softening Victor's public image before a high-stakes merger, Ellie's warmth and honesty clash with his harsh edges, slowly thawing the ice around his guarded soul. But danger lurks in the shadows of Kane Enterprises, and someone will stop at nothing to keep buried secrets from coming to light.

From a tense car chase through city streets to a chilling bomb threat that puts lives on the line, Ellie is pulled into a deadly game where loyalty is uncertain and betrayal comes from those closest to Victor. Through it all, the walls between them crumble, revealing a connection neither expected—and a love that could save or shatter them both.
