Ava thinks she's finally getting a break when she's offered a position at Reed Enterprises. There's only one problem. She's not hired for the position she wanted. Instead, she's assigned as Alexander Reed's personal secretary. Her first day immediately becomes a disaster. Alexander is demanding. Ava refuses to be treated like a doormat. Their arguments become a daily occurrence, yet somewhere between late nights at the office, unexpected moments of vulnerability, jealousy, and stolen glances across the boardroom, their relationship begins to change. But Alexander has rules. Never date an employee. Never fall in love. Never let anyone close enough to hurt you. Ava has never been good at following rules either. As their feelings grow, a secret from Alexander's past threatens everything they've built. Ava must decide whether she can trust the man behind the billionaire image—and Alexander must finally choose between protecting his heart and risking everything for the woman who walked into his office and changed his life. And this time, the billionaire CEO might be the one falling first.
