Sierra Del Castellanos had been groomed for the throne. At twenty-nine, she was one of the youngest CEO in the country, steering a billion-dollar empire while fighting off the sharks in her own boardroom. But in a single night, the life she sacrificed everything to build shattered. A boardroom betrayal threatened her legacy, and a devastating discovery at home destroyed her heart. Standing in the ruins of her life, Sierra finds herself in a dim bar, chasing the bitterness of Scotch with self-pity. Then came Valentine. Effortless, commanding, and dangerously mesmerizing, the stranger offers Sierra more than just a drink-she offers an escape to a place where the world burns beautifully. One reckless decision leads to a night of electric passion that Sierra can't forget, but as morning light breaks, she realizes that opening a new door might be more dangerous than the one that just slammed shut. "I thought I knew the price of power. I was wrong."
