The Boss who owns my shadow

THE BOSS WHO OWNS MY SHADOW Author: Sheila Atuhaire Sheila Veyne has always trusted one thing above everything else—her memory. She remembers every conversation. Every word. Every lie. Every promise. It is a gift that has made her exceptionally good at her work and exceptionally bad at trusting people. So when she walks into the headquarters of Obsidian Meridian for a job interview, she expects to meet a ruthless businessman with an impressive reputation. She doesn't expect him to know her name before she introduces herself. She doesn't expect him to have a file containing details about her life that she has never shared with anyone. And she certainly doesn't expect Kennedy Thorne. Powerful. Cold. Unreachable. Dangerously intelligent. Kennedy Thorne is the kind of man people obey without being asked twice. As the mysterious owner of one of the most influential companies in the city, he has money, power and enough secrets to destroy everyone around him. But Kennedy has one weakness. Sheila Veyne. He has been waiting for her. Watching her. Protecting her. And when she finally walks through the doors of his company, Kennedy realizes the one thing he has spent eleven years preparing for has finally happened. She has returned. The problem? She doesn't remember him. Sheila thinks Kennedy is simply a controlling boss with an unsettling interest in her personal life. Kennedy knows better. He knows exactly who she is. He knows what happened eleven years ago. And he knows why someone is willing to kill to keep Sheila from remembering the truth. When Sheila discovers an old photograph of herself as a child standing beside Kennedy's supposedly deceased brother, her entire understanding of her past begins to collapse. Then she hears a recording. A recording made eleven years ago. A recording containing her own voice. Speaking to Kennedy. Calling him by a name she has never heard before. The impossible recording leads Sheila into a hidden world of corporate conspiracies, erased memories, family secrets and a mysterious research project created by her late father. But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous Kennedy becomes. Because Kennedy doesn't simply want to protect her. He wants her close. He wants to know where she is. Who she's with. Who touches her. Who makes her smile. And every time another man gets too close to Sheila, the calm mask of the most powerful man in the city begins to c***k. Sheila refuses to become someone's possession. Especially not Kennedy Thorne's. But Kennedy has never been good at letting go. When Sheila finally confronts him about his obsession, he gives her a choice she never expected. She can leave his company. She can hate him. She can walk away from him. But there is one thing he refuses to promise. He will not stop protecting her. Because eleven years ago, Kennedy made a promise to Sheila's father. A promise that has controlled his life ever since. He would keep Sheila alive. No matter the cost. Even if she hated him. Even if she forgot him. Even if protecting her meant becoming the very man she feared. But what Sheila doesn't know is that Kennedy's obsession isn't the only secret between them. Someone has been waiting for her to remember. Someone who knows what happened eleven years ago. Someone who knows why Sheila's memories have gaps. Someone who knows the truth behind the impossible recording. And someone who believes Kennedy Thorne has no right to keep Sheila for himself. As danger closes in, Sheila must uncover the truth about the girl she used to be before someone destroys the last evidence of her past. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes that Kennedy may not be the monster she thought he was. He may be the only person standing between her and the people who want her dead. And falling in love with him may be the most dangerous mistake of her life. Because Kennedy Thorne doesn't love quietly. He loves like a man at war. Possessively. Fearlessly. Completely. And once he decides Sheila Veyne is his heart, he will burn down everything standing between them. But Sheila has one rule: She will never belong to anyone. Not even him. So what happens when the man who would destroy the world to keep her safe must finally choose between protecting the woman he loves and letting her be free? And what happens when Sheila discovers that the greatest secret of all isn't why Kennedy remembers her... but why she once promised to come back to him? He remembers her. She forgot him. Someone wants her dead. And Kennedy Thorne is done waiting. Because some love stories begin with a first meeting. Theirs began eleven years before either of them remembered it...
