Description

He built his life on control.
She became the one thing he couldn't resist.

Logan is a billionaire lawyer at the top of Chicago's most powerful law firm—cold, methodical, and driven by a past that left no room for love. Relationships are distractions. Emotions are weaknesses. His only obsession is revenge… until his new assistant walks into his office and shatters every rule he's ever lived by.

Alysson is young, bright, and relentlessly optimistic, even with a painful past she keeps hidden behind her smile. Landing a job at an elite law firm should be the beginning of her future, but working for the notoriously intimidating Logan Coleman quickly turns into something far more dangerous. He's demanding, closed-off, and impossible to ignore—and the attraction between them is as forbidden as it is explosive.

When an unexpected turn of events forces them under the same roof and a misunderstanding traps them in a binding contract, the lines between pretense and reality blur. Forced proximity ignites a desire neither of them is prepared to face. Every glance burns. Every touch threatens to expose secrets that could destroy them both.

But Logan is a man haunted by the past, and Alysson may be standing at the center of a truth powerful enough to tear them apart forever. When betrayal comes to light, Logan must make an impossible choice: protect his pride and his revenge… or risk everything for the only woman who ever made him lose control.
