In the cutthroat arena of high-stakes corporate strategy, control is everything. ​At thirty-two, Selene is the picture of executive elegance—composed, brilliant, and completely in command of her career. She has built her reputation on sharp operational foresight and an impenetrable professional composure. But when Phase One—a multi-million-dollar cross-market expansion—launches, she meets her match in Jason. ​ At twenty-six, Jason is a rising strategic prodigy with razor-sharp intellect, effortless charm, and a gaze that reads Selene better than any financial model. Broad-shouldered, direct, and unbothered by her formidable exterior, he makes no secret of his intentions. He doesn't want to play corporate games; he wants a real partnership—and he is willing to take all the time in the world to earn her trust. ​What begins as sharp intellectual friction in closed-door boardrooms quickly ignites into an intoxicating, slow-burning romance. From late-night spreadsheet sessions and lingering espresso runs to secret alcoves at high-society galas, Jason proves that emotional maturity isn't a spreadsheet metric. ​But as board politics threaten their launch and their connection moves into broad daylight, Selene and Jason must navigate a delicate high-wire act: Can they rewrite the rules of corporate power without burning down the empire they built together

Three hundred years of hatred. One deadly curse. A bond that could shatter an empire. ​For three centuries, High Warlord Erebos Gray has ruled the dark courts as a terrifying monster. Inflicted with the agonizing Shadow-Core curse, every breath he takes feels like breathing ground glass - a dark torment blamed on the extinct Moon Weavers who once brought down his kingdom. ​Aurelia Thorne is the last of her bloodline, surviving in the shadows by keeping her celestial mark hidden. But when Erebos captures her in the fortress cellars, expecting a Council assassin, he discovers something far more dangerous: a single touch from her hand silences three hundred years of unyielding pain. ​She is the lock to his weapon. The silver light to his eternal shadow. ​Surrounded by jealous lovers, deceptive servants and a corrupt High Council determined to keep them divided, Aurelia and Erebos are forced into a dangerous alliance of necessity. To break the curse and avenge their fallen families, the Cursed Warlord and the Lost Sovereign must conquer the realm together or watch it burn to ash.
