#1 | 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐍. ❛In yours arms, I find both heaven and hell.❜ ━━ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, twenty-two, 𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐊𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐉 is a reserved, highly intelligent college student with a liking for numbers and statistics ⎯ but seething underneath is a taste for trouble. Determined to finish her final year of college, she was given a job that was never meant to be completed ⎯ only to be caught and claimed by an older lady who's watched and waited patiently to scorch her. 𝐁𝐄𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒, twenty-nine, is practically a ghost in the business world; a cold-blooded, self-aware enigma behind some of Houston's greatest businesses. People call her a business mogul, even a philanthropist, or better yet ⎯ a 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿. When their paths collide, Onika is torn between the life she has built, and the pull of an older lady who sees right through her ⎯ and knows exactly how to handle her.
