Beneath the Billionaire

He was power wrapped in perfection. She was innocence dipped in fire. One collision, and their worlds would never be the same. When 23-year-old Aanya Sinha leaves India for a prestigious university in the United States, she dreams of independence, education, and chasing a future far from everything she’s ever known. What she doesn’t expect is Ryan Williamson—the 29-year-old billionaire CEO who owns the university… and the underground empire hidden beneath it. Their first meeting is accidental. A moment in time. A bump, a breath, and a gaze that lingers too long. But fate doesn’t believe in accidents. As Aanya is drawn into Ryan’s dangerously seductive world, she discovers that beneath the billionaire’s tailored suits lies a man made of secrets, scars, and sins. The closer she gets, the deeper the danger—and the more impossible it becomes to walk away. In a world of power, shadows, and obsession, can love survive the storm... or will it be consumed by the fire beneath the billionaire?
