Avery Campbell has built her reputation on professionalism, precision, and keeping her emotions locked away. As head of the legal department at Cross Reality & Industries, she's the right hand to the company's brilliant, impossibly handsome CEO, Elijah Cross - and the keeper of a dangerous secret. She's been in love with him for years.
Elijah is everything Avery shouldn't want - powerful, engaged, and completely off-limits. His fiancée, socialite and influencer Sienna Hart, has the world fooled with her perfect smile... but behind closed doors, her claws come out. Everyone in the company knows she's toxic - everyone except Elijah.
When a high-stakes merger forces late nights, whispered conversations, and unguarded moments, the line between loyalty and longing begins to blur. Avery can't ignore the heat simmering beneath the surface - or the way Elijah's eyes linger a little too long.
But secrets can only stay buried for so long. As betrayal, passion, and power collide, Avery must decide whether risking everything - her career, her heart, and Elijah's future - is worth one forbidden taste of the man she's always loved.
