She thought she was escaping her past. He was waiting to claim her future. Broke and desperate, investigative journalist Ava Carter accepts a too-good-to-be-true offer: become the personal assistant to Damian Voss, a reclusive billionaire whose name never leaves the business pages... but whispers about him run through the city's underworld. Behind the steel walls of his penthouse, Damian is every bit as magnetic as he is dangerous-an intoxicating mix of power, control, and barely leashed desire. His rules are simple: obey him, trust no one, and never ask about the locked room at the end of the hall. But when Ava stumbles on evidence that ties Damian to a web of crime, she realizes she's not just working for him... she belongs to him. And in his world, every debt must be paid-one way or another. In a city where loyalty is currency and love is a dangerous gamble, Ava must decide if Damian is her captor... or her only way to survive. Perfect for fans of Skye Warren, Ana Huang, and dark, twisty billionaire romances that blend passion with danger.
