Ten years ago, the Bridlington name was a fortress, and Jacob was its most ruthless guard. When he looked at Clara Danvers-the quiet, wide-eyed girl playing the part of his brother's girlfriend-he didn't see a person; he saw a predator. To Jacob, she was a mirror image of his social-climbing stepmother, a gold digger who needed to be excised like a tumor. He "solved" the problem with a cold room, a cruel dismissal, and a cheque intended to buy her silence and her dignity. Clara Danvers walked out of that room with her head held high and the cheque left shredded on the floor. She carried nothing from the Bridlingtons except a secret that would change her life forever. Today, the power dynamic has shifted. Jacob is no longer the untouchable titan, and Clara is no longer the girl seeking a place to belong. As the CEO of the global powerhouse Serenity Enterprises, Clara has built an empire on the ruins of her heartbreak. She has everything she needs: a thriving career and her daughter, Corinthia-a child with the Bridlington eyes but a Danvers heart. When a desperate business merger brings Jacob Bridlington to her doorstep, he expects to find a woman he can negotiate with. Instead, he finds the one ghost he couldn't outrun, and a debt that ten years of interest can never repay.

On the other side of the spectrum stood Imani Falcone, a brilliant attorney her reputation as a formidable courtroom adversary and her unwavering moral compass made her a beacon of hope for those seeking redemption in a city tainted by crime. Their paths had never crossed until a high-profile case thrust Imani into the heart of Silas's world.

I dragged my nails lightly over his chest, slow, my eyes locked on his. "You told me I was in control, remember?" My voice dipped lower, sultry, daring. I leaned close enough that my lips brushed his ear. "Then say it, baby. Say you're my bitch." A dark laugh rumbled from his lips, low and sinful, the kind that made my stomach flip. His eyes didn't waver, didn't blink. "I'm your bitch," he said...calm, but hot as fuck. The words rolled off his tongue like he'd been waiting to say them, and God, the way he said it almost made me melt right there.

"Why do you want me?" "You want to know why I want you?" He exhales, like he's been holding this in for weeks. "I want you because I don't date for fun. I don't do temporary. I want you because when I think about marriage, your face is the only one there. I want you because if I ever have kids, I want them to have you as their mother. I want you because you're the love of my life." A beat. "And I want you because everything in me settles when you're with me."
