A billionaire is dead.
Another is watching.
And the woman chasing the truth may already be his obsession.
When the COO of Arcadia Software is found murdered in his Manhattan penthouse, the city smells blood. The press swarms. The board panics. And Aiden Blackwell, the company's devastatingly private CEO says nothing.
He doesn't have to.
Fresh off a career-making exposé that destroyed a pharmaceutical empire, an investigative journalist Mileena Monroe is assigned to break his silence. Her reputation precedes her: relentless, fearless, impossible to manipulate. She's built a career dismantling powerful men.
Aiden Blackwell was never meant to be one of them.
Brilliant, composed, and dangerously unreadable, Aiden exists in a world where secrets are currency and desire is leverage. As grief over his best friend's death curdles into something darker, he invites her into his orbit; an invitation she knows better than to accept, and can't afford to refuse.
What follows is a slow-burning collision of intellect and instinct. A cat-and-mouse chase played out across penthouses, private conferences, and whispered conversations where every look is a challenge and every touch is a threat. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks losing control-not just of the story, but of herself.
Because the murder wasn't random.
The silence isn't empty.
And Aiden Blackwell doesn't want to destroy her-
He wants to unravel her.
In a game where power seduces, truth bleeds, and love is the most dangerous liability of all, one question remains:
Is she hunting him... or exactly where he wants her?
We sit in absolute silence as they start to doze off. I rest my head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.
I never thought it would be him. Everything seemed so planned out already. But I'm glad the moon goddess made this mistake.
