Dulce Hernandez is twenty-six… sharp and completely self-made. On the first day of the job she fought her way into, she holds an elevator for a stranger without even looking at him twice. To her, he’s just another man in a suit. To him… she’s the only woman who has ever told him no… and meant it. Ariel Montes is not a man who follows people. He studies… plans…and positions. Eight months ago, Dulce rejected him at a charity gala and walked away before he could respond. Since then, he has been quietly watching, waiting, and when the opportunity came… he bought the company she had always dreamed of working for. His one rule: her success must be hers. Everything else? He intends to claim. As their paths cross again… in elevators… boardrooms… and late-night conversations… the tension between them grows into something dangerous. Dulce is drawn to a man she cannot fully understand, while Ariel finds himself losing control over the one thing he has always mastered… himself. But Dulce doesn’t ignore patterns. And when she starts uncovering the truth behind her sudden rise, she realizes the man she’s falling for has been in her life long before she knew his name. Now she has a choice… walk away from the man who built everything around her… or step closer and risk becoming his.
