Zara Cole had one rule. Never work for the man who ruined her family. She broke it and she told herself it was a strategy. That walking into Damien Voss's empire with her head held high and her resume polished was the cleverest move she'd ever made. Get close. Learn the secrets. Reclaim what his family stole. What she didn't realise was that Damien was thinking the exact same thing. He didn't hire her because she was talented though, blimey, she was. He hired her because she was the daughter of the man his father destroyed, and there was something deeply satisfying about watching her fetch coffee in the building her father once dreamed of owning.He wanted her humiliated. Quietly. Professionally. Completely. Except Zara Cole doesn't humiliate easily. She argues back in boardrooms full of men twice her age. She outworks everyone around her. She looks at Damien like he's nothing like his money, his name, and his perfectly tailored suits mean absolutely zero to her. And it drives him insane. He told himself it was anger. Then he told himself it was fascination. By the time he figured out what it actually was,She found the file. The one with her name on it. The one dated three months before he ever called her in for an interview. The one that made it very, very clear that she was never an employee. She was always a target. The question is what happens to a man who built an empire out of spite when the one person he was supposed to destroy becomes the only one he can't live without?
