Selena Ramirez has always struggled to make ends meet, working multiple jobs just to get by. But when she lands a prestigious job as the personal assistant to the elusive CEO of Hawthorne Enterprises, Liam Hawthorne, her life takes an unexpected turn.
At first, Liam is cold, distant, and hard to approach-a man of few words who keeps everyone at arm's length. He's been burned by relationships in the past and now only trusts himself. However, Selena's determination, kindness, and work ethic slowly start to break through his icy exterior. Despite his initial resistance, Liam begins to rely on her more and more, showing a side of himself he never lets anyone see: a soft, clingy side only Selena can bring out.
But things aren't as simple as they seem. Liam is still involved with his manipulative and self-serving girlfriend, Camilla Winters, who is using him for his wealth and status. Although Liam is aware of Camilla's antics, he hasn't yet found the strength to cut ties. As Selena grows closer to Liam, Camilla's jealousy flares, and she'll stop at nothing to get Selena fired, knowing that if Selena stays around, she could lose everything.
As the battle of wills and emotions unfolds, Selena must navigate a complex web of love, manipulation, and trust, all while discovering that sometimes, the coldest hearts need the warmest hands to heal.

"I don't have a job." She began to speak, "And I didnt get an education-"
"Shh." Xander grinned, placing his finger against her lips, "You do not have to worry about all that. You are mine. You are mine to take care of and you will never have to worry about anything in your life again, my love."
