Nathaniel "Nate" Sterling is known as the Cold as Ice CEO—ruthless in business, indifferent to emotion, and always in control. His employees fear him. His competitors respect him. And his secretary, Charlotte "Lottie" Hayes? She tries to ignore him. Lottie has spent years building her career, keeping her head down, and avoiding entanglements with powerful men. But when Nate demands she accompany him on a crucial business trip to Paris, their strictly professional relationship takes a dangerous turn — Lottie loses her virginity to Nate on one reckless night. Victor gets obsessed with Lottie and tries to compete with Nate. In the City of Love, late-night meetings blur into stolen glances, and unspoken tension ignites into passion. But when the trip ends, so does their carefully contained affair—or so Lottie thinks. Because Nate Sterling never loses, and now that he’s tasted her, he’s not about to let her go.
