LOGINSerena Holloway lost everything. Her parents died in what everyone called a tragic accident. Her family's billion-dollar empire crumbled overnight, leaving her with nothing but an aging boutique hotel and a promise to rebuild the legacy her father left behind. Desperate to save the only piece of her family she has left, Serena takes the one job she swore she'd never accept, becoming the executive assistant to Damien Price, the ruthless billionaire whose family has been her father's greatest rival for years. Damien expected a capable employee. He never expected the beautiful, stubborn woman he'd never forgotten. Working side by side ignites a dangerous attraction neither of them can ignore. But Damien is already engaged, Serena refuses to become another billionaire's scandal, and someone lurking in the shadows is determined to make sure she never uncovers the truth about her parents' deaths. When secret desires turn into forbidden nights, obsession replaces reason, and love becomes their greatest weakness, Serena finds herself caught in a deadly conspiracy involving betrayal, greed, attempted murder, and a shocking inheritance that could destroy everything. As enemies close in and bullets replace whispers, Damien has only one choice: Protect the woman he loves... even if it costs him his empire. But when every secret finally unravels, Serena must decide whether to walk away from the billionaire who broke every rule for her... ...or risk losing her heart forever to the man who was never supposed to be hers.
View MoreHis lips were on my neck, kissing and nibbling me there.This time the effect was so stunning, but not giving myself any time to recover from it, he attacked my mouth with his own. His mouth devoured mine, his teeth brushed my bottom lip harshly enough to sting, and an electric current surged from his mouth all the way down to my clit. The taste of whisky that he drank at his parents' house and the raw desire emanating from him were lingering. I grabbed him by his shoulders, sinking my fingers into the soft material of his suit jacket. I brought him closer to me, wanting more and more, because there was something in me that was burning and this man was setting it on fire.His hands abandoned my waist and traveled downwards, touching my dress, which should protect me and yet, when he touched it, it made me feel like a naked girl. His rough hand pulled up the hem of my dress, exposing my legs to the chilly air of the hallway as my dress pooled at my hips. But once the first sensation o
Serena’s POVMy mouth hung open. In that moment, I actually forgot how to breathe.Love.The very word he had just spoken.Not desire.Not attraction.Not my woman like he would say.Not the thing that could have been rationalized as simply chemistry or the history of two people who could not stop having each other in the bedroom.Not the attraction he had expressed before.He told me he loved me.Damien.This was the same man I intended to fight. The same man I had been prepared to tell that he had no right to decide what was best for me. All of those words vanished from my mind.I looked at him.I had been waiting for a long time to hear those words from his lips, and it just came out like that.Like it was something simple.He looked back at me with some kind of alertness, like he hadn’t just confessed that he loved me.Like he had just done something of the ordinary.Neither of us moved.My heart was pumping blood so fast, I was able to feel how hard it beat in my throat.I had lo
I had protected her from all sorts of threats for months and done everything for her safety without expecting anything in return. I had investigated the threats and increased security measures, staying up nights when she slept so that I could make sure nothing happened to her.But now she was sitting beside me saying that she didn't ask me to do anything.Maybe she didn't.But this didn't make the phrase easier to hear."I know," I replied quietly.She obviously understood the meaning of the words, but she didn't apologize.Instead, she lowered her gaze to look at her own hands."I can't reject every opportunity you don't like.""I'm not telling you to.""You're telling me to reject Conrad.""Yes.""Why? Why aren't you giving me the explanation?""Because I told you that I know him.""That's not enough."I looked at her. "Why?""Because you're asking me to trust your judgment, but you're not telling me the information I need to make it."I stared at her. "So you don't trust my judgmen
Damien’s POVThe anger that brewed in me; I wasn’t sure I had ever seen it on me before. Not even when I had bad meetings.This was genuine rage.My fingers clutched the steering wheel tighter, and for several seconds, I remained silent.How could she do this to me?How could she do things like this without informing me?I wasn’t going to order her around, but she just needed to know that I needed to know things concerning her because she could be used against me by whomever.“Damien?”I looked at her. “Where did you meet him?”“At the Sovereign.”“When?”“Last week.”“And you accepted his offer?”“I haven't signed any contract.”“But you have accepted the offer?”“I have told him that I would think about it.”My jaw clenched. “I see.”She looked at me. “No, you don't. You obviously know something about him.”I glanced at my building. “I know enough.”“What does it mean?”I stayed silent instead of replying. Not like I did not know what to say, but I did not want to say things that wo
