She swore she'd never surrender to him. He vowed to make her his. Neither expected to fall.
When ruthless billionaire Dominic Ashford orchestrates a hostile takeover of Monroe Media, Isla Monroe watches her father's legacy crumble in a single boardroom vote. She despises everything he represents-power without conscience, ambition without mercy. He's the enemy. The destroyer. The man who took everything from her.
But Dominic offers her a devil's bargain: six months as his advisor, or he fires three hundred employees immediately. Isla has no choice but to accept, even as she secretly plots his downfall.
Forced into close proximity, working side-by-side in his penthouse, accompanying him to elite social events as his companion, Isla discovers the ruthless CEO hides devastating secrets. Beneath the armor is a man forged by abandonment and abuse, who built his empire to never be vulnerable again.
And he's starting to look at her like she's the one thing his money can't buy.
When their professional animosity ignites into an explosive attraction neither can resist, Isla faces an impossible choice: protect her heart, or trust the man who destroyed her world. But Dominic is keeping secrets-including the real reason he targeted Monroe Media. And when the truth emerges, it will either bind them together forever or shatter them completely.
As corporate sabotage, federal investigations, and dangerous enemies threaten everything they're building, Isla and Dominic must decide: Can love forged in hatred survive in the light? Or will their past destroy their future?
