Success did not change him.
It revealed him.
Marcus Ashford's rise was never accidental.
From the quiet corners of a London retail store, he climbed quickly-earning trust, authority, and admiration through relentless work and undeniable talent. Confidence followed. So did power. And with it came the dangerous belief that success alone could protect him from consequence.
In Pride Before the Fall, ambition tightens its grip.
As Marcus steps fully into leadership, the cost of being seen becomes impossible to ignore. Workplace politics sharpen, loyalty fractures, and the line between confidence and arrogance begins to blur. The love that once steadied him now strains under secrecy, pressure, and pride-and the choices Marcus makes in the name of control push him further from the man he once was.
This is not a story about sudden ruin.
It is about how easily we justify the decisions that undo us.
Set against the relentless pace of London, Pride Before the Fall is the second book in The Man Who Rose Twice series-a slow, deliberate descent into power, obsession, and loss that prepares the ground for everything that follows.
For readers who crave emotionally complex romance, flawed protagonists, and character-driven sagas where growth is earned, not gifted.
