Yara Sinclair is a quiet, determined 22-year-old trying to make her mark in the corporate world while finishing her degree in business. Landing an internship at Saint-Pierre Enterprises, one of Atlanta's top real estate firms, should've been her big break. But from the moment she steps into Malakai Saint-Pierre's office, it becomes clear this won't be an ordinary 9-to-5.
Malakai better known as LENNOX isn't just the 33 year-old CEO of a multimillion-dollar empire. He's an ex-Marine from Louisiana with a body carved like a Greek god and a dark, commanding energy that makes the room stop when he walks in. Women want him, men respect him, and everyone knows not to cross him. There's something dangerous lurking behind his perfect smile, something Yara can't help but be drawn to-even as she knows it could destroy her.
When late nights at the office turn into stolen glances and heated tension, Yara finds herself caught in Lennox's orbit. But the deeper she gets, the more she realizes that Lennox's empire isn't built solely on real estate. Behind the power and money lies a world of violence, secrets, and betrayal-a world he's tried to keep her out of.
But secrets don't stay buried forever. One night, Yara overhears a conversation that reveals the man she's falling for isn't just a powerful CEO-he's the ruthless kingpin running Atlanta's underworld. Now, she's in too deep, caught between the man who's stolen her heart and the darkness that threatens to consume her.
In a game of power, love, and survival, can Yara hold her own or will she lose everything, including herself?
