Ryker Bennett does not make mistakes.He built Bennett Industries from the ground up with cold hands and colder decisions. He ended a three year relationship with Clarissa Weston, one of the most powerful women in the city, without blinking twice. He does not do second guessing. He does not do weakness. And he absolutely does not do distraction.Then Lucy Skye walks into his office.She has no connections, no inheritance and no safety net. What she has is a mind sharp enough to cut glass and a face that makes grown men forget their own names. She needs this job more than she has ever needed anything. She did not come to impress anyone. She definitely did not come to feel anything.But Ryker Bennett has a way of getting under your skin before you even realize he is there.He overworks her. Early mornings, late nights, impossible deadlines delivered with that cold voice and those dark eyes that linger a second too long. Lucy tells herself it is just a job. Ryker tells himself she is just an employee.They are both lying.When the walls between them finally crack, the whole city feels it. Clarissa Weston feels it most of all. And she is not the only one. Rivals sharpen their knives. Rumors start spreading like fire. Everyone who ever underestimated Lucy Skye lines up to remind her where she came from.They picked the wrong woman to come for.Because Lucy did not survive this long by staying quiet. And Ryker Bennett did not build an empire by losing. Together they are something nobody in that city was prepared for. He protects what is his with a strategy so precise his enemies never see it coming. She fires back at anyone who steps to her with a mouth and a backbone that shocks everyone who thought she was just the secretary.They came for her name. She gave them her wrath.He came for their empires. He took everything.This is not a love story about a poor girl who got lucky.This is the story of a woman who was always meant to win and the man who was smart enough to stand beside her.
