Excerpt from the book:
“You look like you don’t scare easy,” she murmured as she came closer, her voice a low purr barely audible over the music.
“I don’t scare at all,” he replied, taking a slow sip.
She smiled at that, circling behind him. “We’ll see about that.”
Her fingertips brushed along the back of his neck, feather-light. Then she came around to face him again, planting one heel between his knees. With a languid roll of her hips, she lowered herself onto his lap, her hair spilling over her shoulder, brushing against his cheek.

Chapter: HOME “I heard the CEO seemed off today,” Amy remarked as the secretaries stepped out of the building.Rumors about Alexander’s uncertainty had already spread across the company, mostly fueled by the executives who never supported his appointment and were eager to see him fail.“That’s not true. Mr. Gracias just hasn’t fully settled into the office yet. With time, he’ll adjust,” Mackenzie defended firmly.As his secretary, it was her duty to stand up for him, whether he was right or wrong. After all, her boss’s success was a reflection of her own competence.“Or maybe someone just isn’t doing a good job assisting him,” Tonia said, her voice dripping with jealousy and sarcasm. “Why don’t you admit it, so I can take over and handle things properly?”Mackenzie was about to snap back when Amy caught her hand, stopping her.Amy turned to Tonia. “We all know who the best secretary here is. Mackenzie has proved it time and again. If she can’t manage it, what makes you think you can do any better?”

Chapter: RULE NUMBER ONE: YOU MUST RIDE THE ELEVATOR WITH ME Alexander yanked his tie loose and pressed his fingers against his throat, trying to ease the tightness there. His face burned red, every breath a struggle.He slid open the desk drawer with trembling hands and pulled out a bottle of pills. The cap clicked off, and he tilted the container straight to his mouth, swallowing a handful before chasing them down with water.“That was close.” His body slumped into the chair, chest rising and falling in shallow gasps.It had been years since his asthma last hit him, he could run miles every morning without issue yet now, out of nowhere, his lungs betrayed him.“Mackenzie… what are you doing to me?” he muttered, dragging a frustrated hand through his hair. His pulse thundered, loud enough he could feel it in his chest. Just a few minutes of her standing so close had nearly undone him. He almost thought it was a heart attack.A sharp hiss escaped his lips as he forced himself to breathe slow and steady. Closing his eyes, he tried to calm the st

Chapter: CALLED ME THAT AGAIN Mackenzie’s heels clicked faster against the hallway floor. Every few steps, she glanced over her shoulder to see if someone was trailing her. She didn’t slow down until she pushed into the restroom.How is this even possible? she thought, gripping the sink. The man from last night… is my new boss? There has to be some mistake. If he exposes me, everything will be ruined. I can’t let that happen.She forced herself to breathe. “Calm down, Mackenzie. Panicking won’t help,” she whispered.Turning on the faucet, she splashed cold water over her face, then dabbed it dry with a tissue. Digging into her purse, she pulled out her makeup kit. She reapply powder, blush, lipstick.“You cannot let him see your fear,” she told her reflection. “You’ll play this cool. The ball’s in your court now.”But her stomach twisted when she remembered the look on his face earlier, disgust, as if she were something filthy. Clenching her fists, she braced herself and left the restroom.Outside, Amy was rushing

Chapter: THISE EYESChapter ThreeThe bass from the club’s speakers was thudding in Alexander’s chest before he even reached the door. Neon lights pulsed in crimson and gold above the entrance, catching in the slick shine of the pavement. The air carried the faint bite of expensive cologne, cigarette smoke, and the sweet tang of spilled liquor.Inside, the club was alive, crowds moving like a restless tide under strobe lights, the DJ’s deep beat lacing through the laughter, shouts, and clink of glasses. Bartenders worked in a blur, sliding shot glasses down the counter, while women in sequined dresses danced on elevated platforms, hair swinging like golden whips in the light.Jerry was waiting near the roped-off section, a glass in hand, grin wide enough to be seen across the room.“Alex! My man!” Jerry pulled him into a hug that reeked of whiskey and good times. “About time you showed up.”They cut through the crowd, Jerry leading him into a private VIP lounge draped in red velvet and gold trim. Plush l

Chapter: THE DEADLY SECRET Alexander unlocked the hotel room and stepped inside. The door clicked shut behind him, and a light smell of lemon and fresh linen filled the air. The place felt quiet and expensive. He dropped his suitcase beside a chair, pulled at his tie, and loosened it with one quick tug.The room was clean and modern. Warm yellow light glowed from hidden lamps. Big windows showed the city outside—tall buildings glowing against the night, lights blinking like fireflies in the dark.He took off his blazer and tossed it on the bed. His shirt was half unbuttoned by the time he walked into the bathroom. The mirror caught his reflection—tall, lean, his muscles tight from years of working out, even with his busy travel schedule. A thin scar ran along his ribs, a reminder from his rough college rugby days.He stepped into the shower and turned on the water. Warm streams hit his skin, running down his shoulders and chest. The heat made his muscles relax, but his thoughts kept moving.He tilted his head b

Chapter: THE SECRETARY "BE AT THE CLUBHOUSE BY 8. NO EXCUSES, NO DELAYS. YOU KNOW WHAT'S AT STAKE. DON'T MAKE ME COME LOOKING."The message glared at her from the phone screen, every word heavy and sharp. Mackenzie’s breath caught. Her hands trembled, and the phone felt slick in her grip.Her thumb hovered over the screen for a moment before she scrolled up, praying, begging, it wasn’t from the person she feared. But the sender ID confirmed it.Her stomach turned to ice.She gripped the phone so tight her knuckles ached, her palms damp with sweat. The device nearly slipped from her fingers. She blinked once. Twice. Maybe the message would vanish. Maybe she’d imagined it. But it stayed, dark letters burning into her mind.She had spent years hoping this day would never come. Years trying to outrun the shadows trailing her. But shadows have a way of catching up.Her vision blurred as she stared at the screen, heart thudding like a drum inside her chest.“Mackenzie? You okay?”The voice cut through her trance.
