On the night of his arrival, Connor mistakenly enters the wrong hotel room, unknowingly spending the night with his own wife-Lucinda. The next morning, he dismisses her as just another woman, offering her money to disappear. Humiliated and Frustrated, Lucinda leaves without revealing her identity. Determined to keep her pride, Lucinda reinvents herself as Lucy, a confident and cunning businesswoman. When she crosses paths with Connor again in the corporate world, he underestimates her, believing she's just another woman chasing his wealth. That is, until Lucy outsmarts him in a high-stakes deal-leaving him intrigued and drawn to her. What follows is a dangerous game of deception, passion, and revenge. As Connor relentlessly pursues Lucy, unaware that she's the same woman he's divorcing, Lucinda fights to protect her heart. But when she discovers she's pregnant with Connor's child, a devastating misunderstanding leads to tragedy-one that forces the truth to come crashing down.

A dark truth that risked breaking him apart, that could mar his existence. In all these though she was at the center of it all, Madison Connor. Lord help him. She was the one thing he could never have. His enemy's little sister. Eyes like the sea, strawberry blonde curls and those dotted freckles atop her nose; she was his obsession. She was the beginning of his downfall, his damnation and motivation. *** He was the one man she couldn't avoid back then, and the man she couldn't resist. Damien Daniel, her childhood crush who never looked her way even once. Her brother's enemy. She was too small for him, not sexy or beautiful enough for him, too shy to even talk to him. Their attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as she ached to be his, she feared the pressure of his demands. *** Submitting to each other meant they had to break so many rules. Could they? Would they? Their love was forbidden. Their intertwining past threatening to tear them apart. A bumpy ride. So many obstacles and trials.

But she wants more, so when she's hired by a mysterious client for a job unlike any other, she springs at the chance. She's been tasked with a near impossible job: hack into a secure government agency, take down their firewall, and steal all of their money. After a job well done, her mysterious client reveals himself as Rylan Ford: a smug, arrogant, and oh so handsome man who simultaneously draws her in and gets under her skin. He reveals that she was hired as a test of her abilities. Wanting to see if she was as good as her reputation suggests, Ember passed his test with flying colors. He then offers her a job: he needs her help running a firm of hackers that take jobs all across the world. Initially reluctant to take the job, Ember finally agrees. Everything is going well until an old associate of hers materializes out of the past, blackmailing her for money and threatening her life. Unknown to Ember, however, Rylan also harbors a dark past, and his demons are much worse than Ember's. Meanwhile, Ember finds herself falling in love with Rylan, who underneath his smug exterior is not much different than herself. When both of their dark pasts threaten to reveal themselves, will their relationship survive? And more importantly, will they?
