Investigative journalist Elena Cross has spent eleven months following a trail of suspicious corporations, secret payments, and government contracts that all seem to lead to one man: Adrian Vale, a ruthless billionaire whose influence reaches far beyond his business empire. To Elena, Adrian is the perfect villain—a powerful man hiding behind wealth, charm, and an immaculate reputation. Then, on the eve of publishing her investigation, Adrian confronts her with a devastating claim: She has been investigating the wrong man. Adrian reveals that the mysterious organization Elena calls the Covenant was created by his late father—a secret network built to manipulate businesses, political influence, and powerful institutions from the shadows.

His hand pressed against the wall beside my head, his breath hot against my ear. “You’re blushing again, professor,” Ace whispered, his voice low, sinful.

One lesson I’ll never forget. Living with Ace was meant to be temporary. Falling for him? That was never part of the plan.
