Journalist Maya Taylor is determined to expose the truth about Sebastian Blake, the arrogant tech billionaire whose empire has left countless lives in ruins—including her own community. Her searing exposé thrusts Blake Industries into the spotlight, but the last thing she expects is for Sebastian himself to retaliate with a lawsuit that could destroy her career. Instead of fighting her in court, Sebastian offers her a deal: spend three months shadowing him to see how his company really operates. If she finds her accusations were wrong, she’ll have to publicly retract her story. If not, he’ll drop the lawsuit. Forced into close quarters, Maya finds herself grappling with the man behind the headlines—a man who is as infuriating as he is magnetic. Beneath his arrogance lies a sharp mind and unexpected vulnerability that makes it harder to hate him with every passing day. But just as their fiery tension threatens to ignite into something more, Maya uncovers a secret that could destroy not only Blake Industries but the fragile connection forming between them. With everything on the line—her career, his empire, and their hearts—Maya must decide if the truth is worth the cost of losing the man she never meant to fall for.
