“Remember, Miranda… trust no one.”
Her father’s warning echoed in her mind as she smoothed down the crisp uniform of a maid. To anyone else, she was nothing but a servant hired to clean, bow, and obey. But behind the plain disguise was the country’s most promising young agent—sent to infiltrate the home of the most dangerous family in the nation.
The Gordon mansion loomed before her, its gilded walls hiding sins no law had ever touched. Her mission was simple: gather evidence, uncover the syndicate’s secrets, and bring down the empire her government had hunted for years.
Simple… yet impossible.
Because as the massive doors opened, her gaze met his.
Lord Gael Gordon. Cold. Untouchable. The heir to the empire of crime she was sworn to destroy. His presence was commanding, his stare sharp enough to cut through her carefully built facade.
Her pulse raced, not from fear, but from something far more dangerous. Attraction. Curiosity. A pull she could neither explain nor resist.
She reminded herself: He is the enemy. Nothing more.
But deep inside, Miranda Gabrielle Enriquez knew the truth—this mission wasn’t just about survival.
It was about risking her heart… in a war she could never truly win.
