Amelia Duarte never planned to work for Lucian Hawthorne, the ruthless billionaire whose company’s greed cost her father his life. As a journalist-turned-insider, she accepts the most dangerous assignment of her career: infiltrate Hawthorne Biotech and expose the secrets behind its empire. But Lucian isn’t the careless, arrogant CEO she imagined. At only thirty, he’s brilliant, deliberate, and as unreadable as the empire he built. Every meeting, every glance, every word pulls her deeper into a world she should hate and closer to the man she swore to destroy. Bound by secrets and proximity, Amelia walks a fine line between justice and desire. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that power comes with shadows and the truth may cost her more than her career. Is she chasing the biggest story of her life… or walking straight into a trap set by the one man who could shatter her resolve?
