Having Theodore Raventhorn as a business partner was the kind of disaster Vivienne Devereux should've avoided from the very beginning. Cold. Untouchable. Ruthless. Theodore was the type of man who ruined people with a single signature and walked away without looking back. And Vivienne hated him for it. They were meant to be competitors forced into an alliance neither of them wanted. Meant to glare across conference tables, not memorize each other's scars beneath midnight lights. But hatred has a dangerous way of turning into desire. One night. One mistake. One secret powerful enough to destroy everything they built. Because while Theodore Raventhorn continued ruling the corporate world like a king with nothing to lose, Vivienne carried the one thing he never knew existed- his daughter. And if Theodore ever discovered the child she kept hidden from him for years, their fragile partnership wouldn't just shatter. It would burn. ---- Copyright Warning All rights reserved.
