Strategic Affairs (18+)

She's built an empire. He's here to destroy it. And her.

Kara Porter built a powerhouse from the ground up. She's ruthless, sharp, and completely in control-until she meets him.

Zayd Ahmad.

Her new assistant is a man she should've said no to.

From the moment he walks into her office, she knows he's a mistake wrapped in temptation. His confidence is a challenge, his smirk a dare, and his presence a distraction she can't afford. He pushes back when everyone else bows. And despite her instincts screaming otherwise, she lets him stay.

But Zayd isn't just any assistant.

He's a storm waiting to unravel her perfectly ordered life. He knows things he shouldn't, sees cracks in her armor no one else notices. And when she falls, he's there-not to catch her, but to remind her she's never needed saving.

Zayd Khan walks into the interview knowing two things.

One. Kara Porter never loses.

Two. He's about to change that.

She's everything a man like him should stay far away from.

Cold, brilliant, and perfectly untouchable.

But when she lifts her chin and meets his eye like she already knows his game, he knows this won't be as simple as he thought.

She's fire wrapped in control, a woman who built an empire just to keep the world at arm's length.

As passion and betrayal collide, they're forced to choose.

The empire she's worked her life to build, or the man who could destroy it all?

His family, or the woman who's working against them?

Kara's always been the one in control. Always.

Until now.

Until Zayd.
