Hill Swartz LLP: a name synonymous with precision, power, and cold efficiency. Founded by the iron-willed Sebastian Hill and the sharp-as-a-knife Daniel Swartz, the firm is a kingdom built on rules, boundaries, and the unwavering separation of the professional and the personal. Their world runs like a finely tuned machine, each part moving seamlessly, each cog in place. Until, one call shatters everything. Daniel's father is gravely ill, and there's no time to lose. The urgency is immediate, and there is no room for hesitation. He must go. But there's a problem-his daughter, Rene. Stuck in the throes of law school, she can neither go with him nor remain in her family's home. As the cherished, overprotected girl of the family, she's Daniel's world, and no one else would do. Not even the hands of strangers. So, in a moment of desperate clarity, he does the only thing he can. He entrusts her into the care of his firm's partner, the ever-composed Sebastian Hill. Sebastian's first glance at Rene is like a bullet to the chest. He's been through it all-nothing rattles him, nothing unseats him. Or so he thought. But in the silence of that first look, something snaps. A single instant, and a chasm forms between them, deepening and widening with every breath they take. It's not enough to drown them, but it's enough to bring a storm. This storm, however, is like none either of them has ever faced. The situation is tragic, vehemence unhinged, with emotions spinning out of control like a tempest that neither can predict nor contain. Boundaries are blurred, hearts are torn between what they want and what they know is forbidden. Their struggle will change the course of their lives, their firm, and their very selves. The question isn't whether they will fall-it's how far they will fall and if they'll ever find their way back. [First Book of the V-series] A Stand-alone Novel.

I didn't have to turn to know that he was behind me. His dominant presence and aura always seemed to fill whatever room he was in, making everyone be in awe of him. I had to admit that the first time I saw him I was filled with amazement and curiosity... but curiosity killed the cat. A part of me wanted to continue running, even fake my own death to escape him and everything associated with his world. But the other part just wanted to give in and lose myself in him like I had so many months ago. From the moment his eyes fixated on me I knew... I could and will never escape him. His warm breath hit the top of my ear and I stood still like the prey that I was. His prey that he loved chasing. I was afraid that if I did move, he would pounce or bite me by my neck to hold me still like lions did in the wild... and he was the King of the wilderness. "Did you really think that you could run and I wouldn't find you my Angel?" his low voice sending chills down my spine. "Did I not tell you that I was a predator and you my prey? And I always catch my prey." trapping me in between his strong arms with his hands flat on the wall as he pressed his muscular body against mine. "You belong to me Leyla and now that I've found you... I will never ever let you. Over both our dead bodies." Mature Content. All Rights Reserved. PLEASE DO NOT COPY STORY.
