Serena Sinclair never expected to become the obsession of a man who believes love is weakness. At twenty-five, Serena has everything money can buy, except answers about the mysterious death of Vivienne Vale, a woman she loved and trusted. Everyone calls it an accident, but some secrets refuse to stay buried. Then she meets Kael Blackwell. At twenty-eight, Kael is ruthless, dangerously wealthy, and accustomed to getting whatever he wants. He believes Serena’s family is hiding something, and getting close to her might be the key to uncovering the truth. Unfortunately for him, Serena isn’t easily manipulated. She’s stubborn, sharp-tongued, and unimpressed by his power. Their encounters quickly become a dangerous game of hostility, temptation, and undeniable chemistry. But the closer they get, the more their carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. Beneath Kael’s cold exterior lies a man haunted by betrayal, while Serena begins to question everything she thought she knew about the people she loves. Someone has been lying. Someone has been manipulating them both. And the truth could destroy everything. Kael wanted answers. Serena wanted the truth. Neither expected to become each other’s greatest weakness. But when the devil falls in love, will he protect her—or destroy her?

The Devil’s Favorite Chapter Twenty-Four
KAELMichael Rocco was sweating before Damon even opened the door.That told me two things.He knew why he was here.And he knew an apology wasn’t going to save him.I remained seated behind my desk as Damon escorted him inside.Michael was thirty-six, married, with two children and a respectable position managing several of our private accounts. He wore an expensive grey suit, although the collar of his shirt had darkened with sweat.He’d worked for me for four years.Apparently, that hadn’t been long enough to learn the difference between loyalty and stupidity.“Sit down, Michael.”He glanced at Damon.Damon closed the door.“Mr. Blackwell, I can explain.”“I haven’t asked you to.”Michael swallowed.He sat.The office was quiet except for the faint ticking of the clock behind me.It wasn’t the office I used for Blackwell Group.There were no assistants outside waiting with acquisition proposals. No board members demanding updates. No glass walls overlooking the city.This building

SERENAI had spent eight years remembering Vivienne as the woman who made everything feel safe.I had never imagined her being afraid of someone.Not until the night my mother told me about her final visit.Now I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Vivienne had known something terrible was coming. She had tried to protect me, and the people who should have helped her had looked the other way.One of them had been my father.Another might have been the man whose name now sat in the middle of our investigation.Martin Keller.I was still thinking about him when I arrived at Blackwell Group the following morning.Kael met me outside the conference room, kissed my cheek, and took the handbag from my shoulder.“You look tired.”“Hmm.”“Did you sleep?”“Some of us have jobs that don’t involve intimidating board members before breakfast.”“I don’t intimidate board members.”I gave him a look.He smiled. “Not all of them.”I tried not to smile back.It didn’t work.For a moment, the weight of th

KAELDamon called at eight twelve on Monday morning.I was halfway through my first meeting when his name appeared on my phone. I ignored it, sent him a message telling him to wait, and returned my attention to the presentation.Thirty seconds later, he called again.I excused myself from the meeting.“If this isn’t important,” I said when I answered, “I’m going to make you regret learning my number.”“I found something.”I stopped walking.“About Vivienne?”“Yes.”For once, Damon didn’t sound amused with himself. There was no sarcastic comment waiting at the end of his sentence, no attempt to make me ask three times before giving me an answer.“What did you find?”“The audit records we requested have finally come through. You need to see them.”“Can you explain over the phone?”“I could, but I’d rather you looked at the documents yourself. There’s something about the timeline that doesn’t sit right with me.”I glanced through the glass wall of the conference room. The executives insi

SERENABy the time we reached Kael’s apartment, I was beginning to suspect that loving a Blackwell came with an unreasonable number of complications.Not that I intended to complain.The man had spent the better part of the evening listening to me talk about my father, the secrets he’d kept, and the growing distance between the man I loved and the man I was beginning to question. He hadn’t tried to tell me how to feel or insist that Richard must have had a good reason for everything.He had simply listened.Somehow, that made it harder to keep pretending I was fine.Kael loosened his tie as we entered the living room.“Have you eaten?”I dropped my handbag onto the sofa. “Is that your way of asking whether I’m hungry or your way of avoiding a difficult conversation?”“Can’t it be both?”I looked at him.He gave me a perfectly innocent expression that I had already learned not to trust.“You’re unbelievable.”“I’ve been told.”“By women who eventually escaped, I imagine.”“Some of them
