Ava Sinclair built her career on precision calm in chaos, sharp in a room full of excuses. As a rising crisis strategist, she has no patience for arrogant CEOs. So when she's hired to clean up a scandal at Wolfe International, she expects damage control, not Damien Wolfe.

Damien is everything she despises cool, ruthless, perfectly contained. Yet Ava can't shake the sense that his polished calm hides something darker. Secrets that don't just threaten his empire, but her future too.

Publicly, they play their roles: the polished executive and the fixer brought in to save him. Privately, tension coils tight, sparking into something neither can hold at arm's length. The closer they move, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Ava came to protect a company's reputation, not risk her own heart. But when the lies start to crack and loyalties are tested, she has to choose between exposing the truth or protecting the man at its center.

Will Damien risk the empire he built to keep her, or let her walk away?
