Rory Summers has one year to save her future. One year to survive as the personal assistant to Alexander Kane, the cold and brilliant CEO of Apex Holdings. One year to follow the rules, hide her true self, and keep her secret safe. Alexander Kane is everything she was warned about. Ruthless, untouchable, and impossible to impress. Every assistant before her has failed. But Rory refuses to be invisible. She refuses to break. She hides behind dark dyed hair, oversized clothes, and thick glasses. She keeps her head down, answers every question perfectly, and stays out of his way. It works on everyone but Alexander. He notices her too quickly. Every subtle movement. Every small slip. Every secret she thought was hidden. When threats against Apex Holdings escalate, Rory is pulled deeper into Alexander’s world. Living under the same roof, keeping secrets, and surviving his scrutiny becomes a dangerous game. Their proximity sparks tension neither expected. Her disguise starts to crack. Her hair shows hints of gold, her true self begins to emerge, and Alexander sees past the lies. Now the line between work and personal life is gone. Rory must decide how far she will go to protect her secret, and Alexander must decide how much he can trust her. One year, one lie, one choice that could destroy them both.
