Elena Morgan never intended to challenge the most powerful man in the room — especially not the CEO of a billion-dollar company in New York.But when she openly opposes Alexander Reid during a high-level board meeting, she becomes the only woman who has ever dared to question him.Cold. Controlled. Unreachable.That’s who Alexander is to the world.What Elena doesn’t know is that beneath his calm authority lies a man who has spent his entire life avoiding emotional attachment. Love was never part of his plan.Forced to work closely together, their professional rivalry slowly shifts into something neither of them expected — quiet glances, late-night strategy sessions, unspoken understanding.There are no dramatic confessions.No reckless passion.Only the slow, undeniable realization that sometimes the strongest love is the one that grows in silence.And Alexander Reid is about to learn that resisting love… may be the one battle he cannot win.
