Dark Romance

CEO

Ruthless

Misunderstanding

Regret

Second Chance

Hazel’s perfectly planned life shatters the night another woman answers her long-distance fiancé’s phone. Heartbroken and desperate to numb the pain, she drinks past her limits and ends up in the bed of the absolute last man she should ever touch: Xavier Sterling, her terrifyingly cold billionaire boss. Xavier rules his empire with an iron fist and a frozen heart. He doesn’t do romance or feelings—he only does lust. But after their explosive one-night stand, he refuses to let her walk away. He corners her with an indecent proposition: satisfy their intense, undeniable chemistry behind closed doors, with absolutely no emotional strings attached. Seeking an escape from her own heartbreak, Hazel agrees to the dangerous arrangement, completely unaware of the toxic, possessive trap she is walking into. As the lines between them begin to blur, Hazel realizes she is breaking his one golden rule by falling in love with a man who seems entirely incapable of loving her back. But when an unexpected secret changes everything, Hazel is forced to make a devastating choice. Will she be able to escape the fiercely possessive CEO before he breaks her entirely, or will their dangerous game destroy them both? *** Follow me on Instagram: @authorpria for exclusive teasers, sneak peeks, and book updates.

CHAPTER 1
Hazel stood in front of the bedroom mirror, quickly pinning her dark hair into a neat, professional bun. The morning light was just starting to filter through the blinds, casting a soft glow over the quiet apartment.Before she could reach for her makeup bag, two familiar arms wrapped securely around her waist from behind. Liam pulled her back flush against his chest, pressing a warm, lingering kiss just below her ear. A soft smile broke across Hazel's face as she leaned into his touch."Morning," Liam mumbled against her skin, his voice still thick with sleep."Morning," Hazel laughed softly, resting her hands over his.She looked at their reflection in the mirror. Liam’s hair was still a little messy from the pillows, his dress shirt unbuttoned. At twenty-seven, he was effortlessly handsome, but it was the quiet, steady adoration in his eyes that always got to her. Looking at him, Hazel felt that familiar, deep warmth swell in her chest. Two months ago, he had finally slipped the bea

CHAPTER 2
The sharp, freezing wind of San Francisco whipped off the bay, cutting through Hazel’s wool coat the moment she stepped out of the Vanguard Holdings lobby. It was barely past six in the evening, but the sky was already dark, the city illuminated by streetlights and the endless crawl of headlights.Hazel let out a long, exhausted breath, pulling her scarf tighter around her neck. Her legs felt heavy. The adrenaline from the morning’s presentation had completely crashed, leaving her drained.Every time she closed her eyes, she still saw him. Xavier Sterling.The man was entirely intimidating. He hadn't yelled, he hadn't threatened her, but the sheer, oppressive weight of his presence had been enough to make her hands shake. He was the kind of man who looked at people like they were pieces on a chessboard, easily moved or discarded. Hazel rubbed her arms, trying to shake the lingering chill of his cold blue eyes. He was just a scary, powerful boss. She had survived the meeting, she still

CHAPTER 3
Two weeks.It had been exactly fourteen days since Liam’s plane took off for Singapore, but to Hazel, sitting in her cubicle on the forty-second floor, it felt like a lifetime.She stared blindly at the spreadsheet on her monitor, clicking her pen against the desk. She missed him with a dull, constant ache in the center of her chest. Their goodbye had been a chaotic, tearful blur at the airport drop-off, and since then, the brutal fifteen-hour time difference had practically erased their communication. When she was waking up to get ready for work, he was exhausted and going to sleep. When she was eating dinner alone in their apartment, he was stepping into back-to-back boardroom meetings. They texted when they could, but it wasn't the same.The sudden, sharp ring of her desk phone made Hazel jump, her pen clattering onto the keyboard.She cleared her throat, shaking off the fog, and picked up the receiver. "Hazel Evans.""Ms. Evans," a crisp, perfectly modulated female voice said. "Thi

CHAPTER 4
Hazel’s phone buzzed on the glass surface of her desk. She immediately dropped her pen and picked it up, hoping to see Liam’s face pop up for a video call.Instead, it was just a short text.Liam: Hey Haze. The board meeting ran three hours late. I'm completely dead. Going straight to sleep so I don't miss the morning site tour. Sorry I missed your call again. Love you.Hazel stared at the bright screen. She typed back quickly: It's okay. Get some rest. Love you too.She locked the screen and placed the phone face down on the desk. The fifteen-hour time difference was brutal. She hadn't heard his actual voice in four days."Ms. Evans."Hazel jumped slightly, looking up. Xavier’s executive assistant was standing in the open doorway of her office, holding a sleek tablet."Yes?" Hazel asked, sitting up straight."Grab your coat and the printed Q4 projection files," the assistant instructed briskly. "Mr. Sterling’s car is waiting in the private loading bay. You are accompanying him to an o

CHAPTER 5
The freezing burn of straight vodka was the only thing keeping Hazel tethered to the ground.She sat at the sticky edge of the nightclub bar, the deafening bass of the speakers vibrating right through the wooden counter and into her bones. She tipped her head back, the ice in her glass clinking against her teeth as she swallowed the rest of her drink. The alcohol scorched her throat, hot and raw, but it barely touched the suffocating numbness sitting heavy in her chest.She slammed the heavy glass down on the counter."Pour another one." Her voice cracked, sounding completely unrecognizable.The bartender didn't ask questions. He just grabbed the bottle of vodka and filled her glass to the rim.Hazel didn't wait. She picked it up, her fingers trembling slightly, and brought it to her lips, forcing the burning liquid down.Three hours. That was all it had taken to completely obliterate her existence.Three hours ago, she found out her fiancé was cheating on her. He had fallen in love wi

CHAPTER 6
The words had barely left his lips before his mouth crashed down onto hers.There was no hesitation, no gentle build-up, and absolutely no asking for permission. It was a brutal, claiming collision of heat and teeth that completely stole the remaining oxygen from Hazel’s lungs.Hazel let out a muffled, desperate sound against his mouth. She didn't pull back. Instead, her hands instantly flew up, tangling fiercely into the thick, dark hair at the nape of his neck. She kissed him back with every ounce of the ruined, feral desperation burning inside her. She tasted the sharp, cold bite of her own vodka mixed with the rich, dark flavor of his scotch.Xavier’s tongue swept into her mouth, completely taking over. His kiss was dominant, ruthless, and entirely consuming. His large hands gripped her hips, his thumbs pressing deeply into the soft, bare skin of her waist as he completely devoured her mouth.Hazel’s body felt like it was instantly engulfed in flames. Her head spun wildly, the over

CHAPTER 7
The dark, gravelly command sent a violent shockwave straight to her center. Hazel didn't hesitate. She didn't think. She just completely obeyed, falling back against the pillows and parting her thighs for him.Xavier moved in. He settled himself directly between her parted knees. His large hand slid down her trembling stomach, fingers hooking into the waistband of her lace panties and ripping them down her legs in one brutal tug. The cool air hit her soaked pink pussy, making her whimper.His thick fingers traced the slick folds of her pussy before two of them pushed inside her without warning, stretching her open in a single, deep thrust. Hazel’s back arched sharply off the bed, a broken cry tearing from her throat as he finger-fucked her hard and fast, curling those long digits against that perfect spot inside her. Wet, obscene sounds filled the room as he pumped in and out, his thumb circling her swollen clit at the same time.“Fuck, you’re dripping for me,” he growled against her m

CHAPTER 8
Hazel woke up with a low, rough groan.She tried to sit up, but her head felt incredibly heavy, a relentless, vicious drumming pounding against the inside of her skull. She managed to push herself into a sitting position, immediately dropping her elbows onto her knees and burying her face in her hands. She pressed the heels of her palms tightly against her temples, trying desperately to keep her head from splitting open.Her mouth felt terribly sore. Her tongue was dry and thick, coated in the stale, lingering taste of alcohol. She swallowed, wincing at the scratchy, raw feeling in her throat. She sat there in the quiet room for a long moment, keeping her eyes closed, simply trying to wake up and shake off the heavy, dizzying fog of the hangover.Slowly, with great effort, she lowered her hands and blinked her eyes open.A thin sliver of daylight bled through the edges of heavy blackout curtains, casting a narrow beam across the floor. Hazel squinted, rubbing the sleep from her gritty

CHAPTER 9
She navigated the long hallway as fast as her sore body would allow. At the end of the corridor, she found a heavy metal back door. She pushed it open with her free hand and slipped out into the freezing morning air of a quiet back alley.She hurried down the alley, the cold concrete biting at her bare feet. When she finally reached the main street, she flagged down a passing yellow taxi, scrambled into the back seat, and gave the driver her address.She spent the entire twenty-minute ride in complete silence. She sat with her bare feet tucked under her, clutching her purse to her chest, staring blankly out the window as the city rolled by. Her head drummed with every bump in the road.When she finally unlocked the door to her own apartment, she felt like she could barely stand.Her apartment was completely silent. The morning sun filtered through the blinds, landing directly on the living room coffee table. The printed floor plans for the house she was supposed to buy with Liam were s

CHAPTER 10
Hazel gripped the edge of her bathroom sink, holding a damp makeup sponge in her trembling hand.It had been exactly seven days. One full week of hiding inside her apartment, jumping every time her phone buzzed, and entirely ignoring the outside world. She had emailed HR on Monday morning, claiming a sudden family emergency and taking seven days of sick leave.She tilted her chin up, staring at the reflection of her neck. The brutal, dark bruises had finally faded into a dull, yellowish-purple shadow, but the distinct shape of Xavier’s bite mark still sat stubbornly right over her pulse. She dabbed a heavy layer of thick concealer over the skin, blending it carefully until the bruise vanished under the makeup.Liam hadn't called her once. The five years they had spent together had completely evaporated into thin air.But it was the absolute silence from Sterling Enterprises that was making her physically sick. She had spent the entire week waiting for the inevitable termination email.
