THE CEO’S HIDDEN PROMISE Amelia Carter never expected a job at Blackwood Enterprises to turn her world upside down. She certainly never expected her new boss to be Adrian Blackwood—the cold, intimidating CEO whose presence alone could make an entire room fall silent. To everyone else, Adrian is a man who always gets what he wants. Powerful, distant, and impossible to read, he keeps his personal life locked behind walls no one dares to cross. But Amelia is different. She doesn't know why Adrian hired her. She doesn't know about the promise his late father made, or the secret that connects their families. And she has no idea that the man who seems determined to keep her at arm's length may be the very person whose life is about to become tangled with hers. As hidden truths begin to surface, Amelia finds herself caught between the man Adrian pretends to be and the person he desperately tries to hide. But promises made in the past can have consequences in the present—and some secrets can change everything. He made a promise to protect her. He never planned to fall for her. And when the truth finally comes out, will love be enough to keep that promise from destroying them both?
