My Father’s Enemy, My Obsession
He is the man her father wants erased.
She is the only woman who can bring him to his knees.
In neon-soaked New York City, power isn’t inherited—it’s stolen.
Twenty-three-year-old Ava Moretti was born into one of Manhattan’s most feared real-estate dynasties, raised to preserve its empire—not question it. Invisible, controlled, untouchable… until she slips into an illegal underground auction hidden beneath a luxury skyscraper.
That’s where she meets him.
Damian Kade—ruthless tech billionaire, the “Silicon King,” and her family’s greatest enemy. A man who doesn’t lose, doesn’t beg, and doesn’t spare mercy.
When a violent deal spirals into chaos, Damian drags her into the shadows and kisses her—hard, commanding, forbidden—just to keep her alive.
He doesn’t know she’s a Moretti.
She doesn’t know he’s the man her father has spent a decade trying to destroy.
What begins as a secret client arrangement quickly turns into obsession. In public, they are enemies whose names should never be spoken in the same room. In private, they are ruin—ripped silk, bruised lips, and truths neither of them were ever meant to survive.
“I should walk away from you,” Damian whispers against her skin.
“But I don’t believe in should.”
But love in their world is never safe.
When an attack on Ava’s family is traced back to Kade Industries, she’s forced into an impossible choice: expose the man she loves… or protect him and risk watching her entire bloodline burn.
He is the empire her father wants destroyed.
She is the key to his downfall.
In a city built on betrayal and blood, love is the most dangerous crime of all.
How far will you go for the one person you were never meant to survive?
