The youngest billionaire in London's finance scene walks into the room like winter in a tailored coat. Cold eyes, sharp voice. No patience for nonsense. Everyone fears him. Everyone watches him. And somehow, after one disastrous conversation and a spilled cup of coffee, he starts watching Mira back. People thinks Adrian Mercer is cruel because he keeps the world at arms length. They don't see the man who cooks for his little sister when she can't sleep. The man who quietly pay hospital bills without leaving his name. The man who checks exits in every room because one wrong mistake could put the people he loves in danger. Mira sees pieces of him no one else does. And that becomes dangerous. Because the closer she gets to Adrian, the more she realises his world isn't built on luxury alone. It's built on secrets, surveillance, old family enemies, and one terrifying truth that could destroy both of them before they ever get the chance to admit what they feel. He promised himself he would never let anyone close enough to break him. Then Mira laughs at one of his dry insults....and suddenly the rules don't matter anymore.
