Pointing a gun at my head, he lowers his voice to a warning tone, "who do you work for?"
I smirk before looking up at him. "You."

Aria is not your typical girl. Actually, she's not a typical person period. Raised mostly by her father's best friend, Jim, who works as a tactical strategist, she was raised as a force to be reckoned with. She learned strategy before she learned words, was taught to fight before she could walk, and understood deceit and manipulation before all else. Working as an undercover operative for Jim, she is sent to investigate Alexander as his personal assistant but as they grow closer and secrets come to light, she is forced to question her loyalties and beliefs.
Alexander and his brother had been raised in the cruel world of his father' syndicate, exposing them to death, drugs, and violence for as long as they could remember but where his brother grew to love it, Alex was desperate to escape. At the age of 22, he became the CEO of the largest tech companies in the world but it wasn't always enough to keep his mafia past away. Not when his brother, the new head of the syndicate, hates him so much.
With the two of them forced together as Aria's world is flipped on its axis and Alexander finds his life in danger, the two might end up being each other's salvation... or their destruction.

I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off.
His eyes were blazing with rage.
His face was set into an icy glare.
His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white.
As he stood from his chair so did I.
I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle.
I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me.
I gulped again before shaking me head.
"She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back.
"How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me.
As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me.
Well great.
Now I'm cornered.
This is just typical.
