Sloane Daniels has enough problems without adding billionaire CEO Alistair Sullivan to the list. She needs this job. She needs stability for her son. And after the scandal that nearly destroyed her career, the last thing she needs is another complication. Unfortunately, Alistair is very good at being one. Cold, controlling, and frustratingly perceptive, he makes it his mission to challenge Sloane at every turn. She returns the favor without hesitation. Until the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. But Alistair's interest isn't only about attraction. The locket Sloane wears may be connected to his mother, the woman whose disappearance has haunted his family for years. Suddenly, Sloane isn't just the assistant he can't stop arguing with. She's part of a secret someone desperately wants to keep buried. As corporate sabotage, family betrayal, and buried scandals threaten to pull them apart, Sloane and Alistair must decide whether they can trust each other before the truth destroys whatever has grown between them. Because breaking the rules might cost Sloane her heart. And trusting the wrong person could cost Alistair everything.
