Emily Rodriguez, a thief known for her icy composure, never expected to get caught—especially not by Stephen Lopez, a billionaire whose ego is as vast as his fortune. When she’s dragged into his world, she doesn’t beg, panic, or even flinch. And that’s exactly what intrigues him. Instead of turning her over to the police, Stephen makes a decision fueled by curiosity and pride—he offers her a deal: stay by his side as his girlfriend, or face prison. Emily agrees… but not because she’s afraid. Now trapped in a life of luxury she doesn’t trust, and bound to a man she refuses to respect, Emily finds herself clashing with Stephen at every turn. But beneath the arguments and mind games, something unexpected begins to form. Because the one thing Stephen didn’t plan for… …was that Emily might be the only person in the world he can’t control.
