CASSIEI lay there, flat on the silk sheets of Julian's Royal Suite, both Cavendish brothers still looming over me with clear, predatory intent. I'd just traded my mission for an orgasm, and the self-loathing was a dull hum beneath the high of the pleasure."Shall we?" Basil suggested, the undertone in his voice laced with the possessive need of a man who rarely had to ask for what he wanted."You think she's ready for that?" Baxon asked, his voice quieter, more concerned, the emotional brother trying to gauge the depth of my breaking point."She seems ready for anything, bro. She's that sort of girl. She can take anything we throw at her, especially if it means forgetting her old life at Montalvo Flat." Julian's voice was a chilling mix of flattery and cold assessment."True, she's fucking sexy like that," Baxon agreed, a hint of genuine awe in his tone.I swallowed audibly, racing my mind through the possibilities of what they meant. Just what the hell were these guys up to? Luckily

Blurb- He needed a miracle worker. She needed a paycheck. Neither expected the fire they’d ignite.Sebastian Vaughn’s world is gilded, cold, and shattered. Since his wife’s tragic death, his brilliant son, Leo, hasn’t spoken a word. A parade of expensive specialists has failed, leaving Sebastian with a ghost of a boy and a fortress of guilt.Maya Rossi is a battlefield of a different kind. A former combat medic drowning in her brother’s medical debt, she’s surviving, not living. When a cryptic ad offers a life-changing sum to be a “crisis manager,” she expects corporate security, not a broken eight-year-old and his emotionally frozen billionaire father.Their first meeting is a war of wills. He’s all arrogant disdain and icy control. She’s blunt, pragmatic, and unimpressed by his wealth. But when Leo’s trauma erupts in a terrifying panic attack, Maya is the only one who doesn’t flinch. Her calm, capable hands do what his millions cannot: bring his son back from the edge.Hired out of

(XENDER’S POV)I sighed as I exited the Zang & Co. Corporate Tower and began to make my way to the waiting car out front. Eleanor’s private number, the one she never uses unless the sky is falling, had flashed on my screen just twenty minutes ago. My formidable mother had been at the Zang Estate to drop off documents, only to witness the aftermath of Leo's panic attack from earlier in the week. The same incident that had earned Maya Rossi her exorbitant contract. My mother had been clear: "Your son is being handled like a casualty, Xender. Get here now."My driver, Richard Hale, pulled the customized black Maybach through the Zang Estate gates. Being a real estate billionaire, building a legacy from the ground up in Manhattan, was everything I had strived for. The power, the control—it had been my entire world. But now, it felt hollow. Like I was frozen in place while my true life, the one with Leo, was happening around me, and I was utterly useless to stop its decay.Since Elena's de

My heart contracted. I had no regrets for slapping the arrogant man down but was scared of the very real financial consequences."I think I'll have to wait and see what happens," I admitted, taking another healthy sip.Lilly shook her head. "You were right to defend Leo. You were wrong to insult Zang's parenting. Give me the rest of the details, the parts you skipped.I launched into the whole confrontation and tried not to leave anything out. When I was done, Lilly looked at me-a strange smile etched on her face.“Why do I get the feeling that you're utterly obsessed with this man? It sounds like a lot more than a fight, Maya.”My cheeks warmed up despite the alcohol. I couldn't believe Lilly had picked up on the simmering tension. I had been trying to suppress the memory of his imposing frame and his eyes—those chillingly beautiful hazel eyes.“It is just professional disdain, Lilly. I hate his arrogance,” I argued.“No, you don't,” Lilly declared, pulling out her phone and quickly

“Dad, look!” Leo exclaimed, his voice clear but still small.I turned, stunned, to the doctor. "What is that? I thought the gift was a piece of candy.""It's a charcoal sketch I did of the Catskills. I have a small portfolio here. When I saw him with his coloring pencils, I thought he might appreciate the focus on structure and line," Frederick confessed with a wide, genuine grin.His explanation finally clicked and proved how thoughtful he was. “Thank you for being so considerate, Frederick.”Frederick smiled. “He’s a good kid, Sebastian.”We shook hands; Frederick made some last, frivolous remark to Leo, and we were out the door, homeward bound. As I looked out of the window, the painful truth dawned - Miss Rossi had been right.(MAYA'S POV)I waited at the grand service door, where Xender had instructed me to meet him. It was late afternoon, and the sun cast long, dramatic shadows across the marble floors of the Zang Estate. I was here for a debriefing, and I felt the familiar tens
