Emily Hart just landed the dream job, personal secretary to the sinfully rich, dangerously fine CEO of Steele Empire. So naturally, she did what any girl with a fat offer letter and a killer dress would do: hit the club, danced like a vixen, and threw back shots until reality blurred and pleasure took the wheel. That’s when he happened. Dominic Steele. Billionaire boss. Ruthless in the boardroom. Untamed in the bedroom. He saw her, hips swaying, lips smirking, black dress clinging like a second skin, and he didn’t ask for a name. He just took. One night. One filthy, breathless, back-arching night. No promises. No names. Just raw heat and moans that echoed past midnight. Until Monday morning happened. Now, the man who made her beg without words is standing behind a glass desk in a tailored suit, And she’s the new secretary who can’t look him in the eye without remembering how he made her scream. She thinks he’s cocky as hell. He thinks she’s the sweetest kind of chaos. But when a missed period makes an unexpected appearance, it’s no longer just business. It’s Daddy, please……. with a whole lot of tension, temptation, and trouble in between.

Athena is blind, and adopted by a merciful Alpha who takes her in.

Lors de notre fête d'anniversaire, l'arche recouverte de roses a soudainement cédé, s'effondrant dans une tempête de verre brisé et de pétales éparpillés. Roxane et moi avons été projetées au sol sous les décombres. Je me suis appuyée sur mes coudes, une douleur aiguë me tordant l'abdomen, et j'ai levé les yeux, droit dans le regard glacial d'Albert. « Je n'aurais jamais cru que ta jalousie était aussi profonde.
