Cracking The PM Career: The Skills, Frameworks, And Practices To Become A Great Product Manager

Cracking His Code is a dark MM romance for readers who like their love stories dangerous, their heat explicit, and their anti-heroes completely, catastrophically gone for each other. Oliver Blaese has two rules. Never get caught, and never let anyone have the upper hand. He broke the first one the second he hacked a corrupt senator’s private server and downloaded a ledger tying him to a global human trafficking ring. Now half the billionaires in the world are trying to put him in a body bag. He needed a shield. So he hired Kirill Nikolaev. That was his second mistake. Kir is a Russian assassin who kills people for a living. He also possesses a calm that feels less like patience and more like a loaded weapon pointed directly at Oliver's self-control. While bouncing between European safe houses, systematically assassinating the syndicate's architects before they can find them, Oliver realizes Kir is the first person who's ever looked at him like he knows exactly what he needs. And what Oliver needs, it turns out, is someone who doesn't ask. Someone who takes. What starts as forced proximity becomes something neither of them immediately understand. Something that lives in the space between command and surrender. Between a punishment deferred and a promise kept. Oliver hates how much he wants to kneel. He hates, even more, that Kir already knows it. This is a story about two men finding, in each other, exactly what they didn't know they were missing. One a natural dominant who's never wanted anything this badly, the other a brilliant, defiant brat who's never trusted anyone enough to let go. Until now.

The world's most luxurious prison is gilded, and Audrey just broke free. Born into wealth, Audrey is running from a legacy she views as a curse—a privileged life built on the foundations of a dark secret she keeps locked inside. Her only chance at salvation lies in a new identity and a grueling, anonymous job far from the glare of high society. She lands a position at CazoS Enterprise, hoping to finally earn a life she believes she deserves. Little does she know, the gilded cage she fled has a more lethal twin waiting for her. Sebastian CazoS is the undisputed king of this world. The coldest, most ruthless CEO in the city, his charm is a calculated weapon and his wealth is an impenetrable shield. He doesn't just despise love; he actively believes in the destruction it causes. For Sebastian, people—especially women—are commodities to be acquired, used, and discarded. Rumors follow him like a shadow: he is brilliant, devastating, and perhaps, truly unhinged. Their worlds don't just collide; they detonate. When Audrey's desperate attempt at a clean slate places her directly in Sebastian’s line of sight, the tension is instant and toxic. He sees a challenge in her refusal to be bought; she sees the very worst of the world she ran from. But as their volatile interactions escalate, Sebastian realizes Audrey is somehow tied to the very empire he runs, and Audrey's terrifying past begins to claw its way back. Will he save her from the nightmare chasing her, or is Sebastian himself the deeper, more dangerous trap? In a world where money is power and love is a weakness, their relationship won't be a romance—it will be a battleground where only one can survive intact.

I am heading to my job interview when my close friend, Thomas Lang—the same guy who always cautions me about meddling in other people's business—suddenly throws caution to the wind and sprints toward the wrecked limousine. I instantly realize that Thomas has been reborn, too. In my past life, Thomas and I were the top two graduates of the finance department, both making it to the final round of interviews at a Fortune 500 conglomerate. Yet, on the day of the interview, we suddenly came across the CEO, Ruth Gibson, who had just gotten involved in a car crash. I abandoned the interview to save her, while Thomas hurried off to the interview. In the end, Thomas landed the offer, while I lost my shot at working at the top conglomerate. I received sympathy from everyone around me. However, Ruth sought me out eventually, and in the spirit of profound gratitude, she presented me with an immediate proposal of marriage. I became the man who would marry Thomas' superior, achieving incredible status overnight. Meanwhile, Thomas stayed an ordinary worker, perpetually crushed by impossible metrics and corporate pressure. I was enjoying the heights of my privilege at the annual dinner, standing beside Ruth, while Thomas lurked in the background. He was a miserable face lost among the nameless guests. Consumed by jealousy, he brandished a knife and stabbed me to death right there. I suddenly open my eyes and realize we are both back at this single, pivotal day of Ruth's accident.
