Elise Malano is a sharp-tongued, no-nonsense journalist with zero patience for the ultra-wealthy. She's spent her career exposing the cracks beneath polished facades, refusing to be dazzled by money and power. When she's assigned an exclusive feature on Kara Comananche-the elusive billionaire CEO of Comananche Enterprises-she expects the usual: cold arrogance, rehearsed answers, and an impenetrable wall of wealth and privilege.
What she doesn't expect is Kara herself.
Commanding. Calculated. Magnetic.
From the moment they meet, sparks fly-but not the romantic kind. Kara is unimpressed by Elise's skepticism, and Elise refuses to be intimidated by Kara's effortless power. Their conversations are a battle of wills, filled with tension sharp enough to cut. But when Kara challenges Elise to shadow her for a week, giving her a rare glimpse into her world, the lines between journalist and subject, intrigue and desire, power and vulnerability begin to blur.
As Elise peels back the layers of Kara's carefully constructed empire, she finds herself drawn to the woman beneath the headlines-the one who never lets anyone close. But with the weight of the story pressing down on her and Kara's guarded nature keeping her at arm's length, Elise must decide: is she willing to risk everything for the truth?
Or is she falling for the one person she swore she'd never let in?
