One reckless night with a devastatingly handsome stranger is exactly the distraction she needs-until she walks into work on Monday morning and discovers he's her new CEO. Julian Wyatt is powerful, guarded, and impossible to ignore. Keeping their distance should be easy. Instead, every stolen glance, every late-night meeting, and every whispered conversation draws them closer to a line neither of them can afford to cross. As buried secrets begin to surface and Emma fights to rebuild the confidence her past tried to steal, Julian must decide whether protecting his heart is worth losing the woman who has quietly claimed it. Some mistakes change your life. Others become the best thing that ever happened to you.

And in a palace built on lies, surrendering to passion may be the most dangerous betrayal of all.
