Five years ago, Ariana Devlin watched her family's empire crumble — and her father die — the moment Cross Corporation swept in. Now she's back. New face. New name. New plan. As Aria Kenzari, elite M&A consultant, she has spent five years building herself from nothing to infiltrate the one place she needs to be: inside Nathaniel Cross's world. Her goal is simple. Destroy him the way he destroyed her. But the night she breaks into the wrong room in his penthouse, Aria discovers something that changes everything. Boston's most feared CEO — cold, untouchable, ruthless — has a secret. Behind closed doors, Nathaniel Cross doesn't want to give orders. He wants to obey them. And he's asking her. What starts as the perfect weapon becomes the most dangerous thing Aria has ever held: power over a man she was supposed to hate. But the deeper she goes, the more the lines blur — because Nathaniel isn't the monster she was promised. The real one is still out there. Watching. And he already knows who she is. Revenge brought her to Boston. Love may be the only thing that gets her out alive.
