The first time Lila Morgan saw Asher Knight, she forgot how to breathe. The second time, she fell a little harder. By the third time... she was ready to do something extremely stupid. Like stalking the office directory to find out his name. Or walking into the COO's office pretending she needed his "approval" just to get his number. Or texting him relentlessly even though he barely reacted. Because Asher Knight? Cold. Sharp. Unreadable. A man carved from steel and wrapped in a tailored suit. He shouldn't notice her. He shouldn't care. But sometimes... when he thinks she isn't looking... She sees something dangerous flicker in his eyes. Something hungry. Something he's trying - and failing - to hide. And when Lila finally snaps and asks him, "Do you like me or not?" Asher's mask cracks. "I've been trying not to," he whispers. "Because once I start with you... I won't stop." Now the cold COO isn't cold at all. He's jealous. Possessive. Obsessed. And Lila? She has no idea how to handle the man who once ignored her... and now looks at her like she's the only thing he's ever wanted. Office romance. Slow burn. High tension. Jealousy. Hidden obsession. And a man who unravels only for her.

He saw her pain. She never looked at him. A single, miserable business trip. A storm. A single bed. For years, Evelyn Reed was the quiet, organized fixture at Sterling Corp, engaged to her ambitious coworker, Mark. Now, she's the office pariah-betrayed by Mark and her best-friend-turned-rival, Sarah, and labeled the jealous, unstable "other woman" in a lie they meticulously spun. Evelyn is broken, scorned, and desperate to disappear. Her salvation comes in the form of a dreaded factory inspection trip to the remote north, led by her ice-cold, supremely capable CEO, Julian Sterling. Julian is formidable, intensely private, and commands silence with a single glance. He sees the storm raging behind Evelyn's carefully constructed walls, but she refuses to meet his gaze. The plane ride is tense, but the landing is disastrous. Stranded by a sudden, brutal snowstorm in an unequipped rural town, they are forced into close quarters. No clothes, no heat, just one small room with one shared bed in a forgotten inn. Julian, the man who owns corporations, is suddenly just a man-warm, protective, and determined to keep her alive. The night they spend fighting hypothermia rips down all their professional boundaries. When the morning comes, everything has changed, and Evelyn discovers the man she ran from might be the only man who truly sees her. He said he'd take responsibility. She had to decide if she could take a chance.

Raised by a mother who loved her but resented her, and a man who hid his violence behind closed doors, she learned early how to stay small, quiet, and invisible. Until the night everything shattered. When her mother is found dead and her stepfather vanishes, DNA results reveal an impossible truth-Athena is the illegitimate daughter of one of America's most powerful Mafia dons. Whisked away to New York, she finds herself in a palace of cold steel and burning loyalty, under the protection of five ruthless brothers who rule a criminal empire. She was born in silence. They raise her in steel. But beneath the violence lies something unexpected-soft hands, warm arms, a family that will kill for her, die for her... and teach her, at last, how to live. Book 1
