He was the only forbidden fruit I ever dared to taste, one I enjoyed far too well. Betrothed to a man old enough to be my grandfather, I was meant to endure, to obey, to survive. But Ali Usman-my husband's son saw the girl no one else bothered to see. With him, I wasn't just another possession. I was wanted. Desired. Every secret glance, every stolen touch pulled me deeper into a dangerous game we could never win. Loving him was a sin. Wanting him was a crime. Yet somehow, it all made sense. Until it didn't.

My father used to say there were only two sides to a coin. You either win or you lose. But life is never that simple. My coin has a thousand sides and edges, twisting and turning with every choice I make. Or maybe that's an illusion. Maybe I don't have a coin at all. Maybe I'm just the woman caught in the flip-trapped between a deadly secret and the man who can never know it exists.

I never thought I'd see him again-let alone like this. Five years was supposed to be enough time to forget. Enough time to bury the ache that Ayo Oladipo left behind. But now, here I am, standing in the heart of his empire, where marble floors gleam under my heels and his name hangs in cold, golden letters above the boardroom door. The same name that's at the center of the biggest investigation of my career.

COMPLETED. "Look, if you're-" "Shut up." I was taken back at the sudden manner in which he spoke to me. "Let's get something straight Miss Greene, I don't appreciate people talking back at me. And quite frankly, you're crossing your limit with me and my patience with you. So from now on, as long as you're with me you'll do as I say. Understood?" _____________________________________________ Mystery. Romance. Deception. You know what they say, hate is a strong emotion- so is love.

But when things begin to get out of hand, she discovers that she has more to do with the dangerous situation Adrian is involved in than she or anyone else could ever imagine. In the hopes of ending the matter, both must endure each other's company as they take a trip together which reveals unbearable past secrets and irresistible desires. Desires that Julie fears would only deepen her wounds, but somehow heal Adrian's. BONUS CHAPTERS available on my blog (link in my bio)
