She accepted a job she never wanted. He hired the one woman he should have avoided. Lena Hart never planned to work for the cold, untouchable CEO of Wolfe Empire. She only wanted to fix a payroll mistake and move on with her life. Instead, one unexpected meeting leaves her working side by side with Adrian Wolfe—a powerful billionaire haunted by a past he refuses to speak about. As buried secrets begin to surface, Lena discovers that her late mother's life was mysteriously connected to Wolfe Empire long before she was born. Anonymous warnings tell her to stay away from Adrian. Hidden files suggest he may know more than he's admitting. Yet the more she uncovers, the harder it becomes to believe he's the villain everyone claims he is. In a world where loyalty is bought, trust is dangerous, and every answer comes with a price, Lena must decide whether to follow the warnings... or follow her heart. Because sometimes the man you were never supposed to love is the only one willing to risk everything to protect you.
