I never planned to cross paths with Adrian Voss again.Not after he humiliated me… not after he shattered my confidence… and definitely not after he looked me in the eyes with that cold, calculating stare I’ve never been able to forget.He was everything I promised myself to avoid—arrogant, untouchable, and terrifyingly powerful.But life doesn’t care about promises.When my family falls into a crisis that could destroy everything we have, the last person I expect to offer help is him—the man who ruined my dreams once before.And Adrian Voss never does anything out of kindness.He names his price.A contract.Binding. Inescapable.One that ties me to him for months I can’t afford to refuse.Now I’m working beside the man I’ve hated for years, trapped in his world of power, precision, and dangerous expectations. And the worst part? Adrian seems determined to challenge me at every turn—pushing, provoking, peeling back the defenses I’ve spent years building.The real problem isn’t surviving his rules.It’s surviving the way he looks at me now… like he sees everything I’m trying desperately to hide.The closer we get, the more the lines blur—hatred turning shaky, tension turning electric, and something far more dangerous waking between us.In Adrian’s world of ambition, rivalry, and hidden scars, I have one impossible choice to make:Is he still the enemy who destroyed me—or the man fate has bound me to for reasons I’m only beginning to understand?
