Nerissa Volkova is twenty-one, brilliant, sarcastic, and determined to outrun the mess she calls her bloodline. Born from an affair that blew up her mother's family, she's always been the unwanted piece - the genius nobody knows what to do with. But when an elite internship lands her at Wayne Enterprises, she figures it'll be simple: put in the hours, get the credit, graduate top of her class. Easy.
Until she crosses paths with Gotham's golden boy.
Bruce Wayne is infuriating - all brooding eyes and clipped orders, a billionaire playboy who thinks her sharp tongue and sharper mind are nothing but an inconvenience. But he keeps pulling her closer, assigning her projects that mean late nights at Wayne Manor, entangling her in the lives of the boys who orbit him like lost moons. Boys who start to feel like the family she never had.
But Bruce has secrets bigger than Gotham's skyline. The closer Nerissa gets, the more she senses the shadows at the edge of every conversation, every lingering touch. By the time she discovers the truth - about the Batcave, the plan, the betrayal woven into every kiss - it's too late. Her walls are down. Her heart is already his.
Now she has a choice: run from the family she always wanted, or stand her ground and make Bruce Wayne earn the second chance he doesn't deserve.
Because loving him once was a risk.
Loving him again? Might just break her.
