Ruthless Devotion

Power. Control. Victory. These are the only things Xavier Sterling has ever cared about. As CEO of a billion-dollar empire, he built his world with an iron will, a sharp mind, and a heart cold enough to freeze anyone who dared get too close.
But then she walked in.
Rose Delacroix. A woman with fire in her eyes and dreams too big for anyone to crush. She fought her way from nothing, clawing through the ruthless fashion industry, refusing to bow-even to the most powerful man in Eldoria.
She should have been just another name, another deal to close. But from the moment she defied him, challenging him with that untamed spirit, Xavier found himself breaking his own rules. Watching her. Protecting her. Wanting her.
Even when he knew he shouldn't.
But love has no place in their world.
Not when enemies lurk in the shadows-waiting to strike.
Not when her toxic ex wants her back.
Not when betrayal comes from the people she trusts the most.
And definitely not when Xavier himself could be the biggest danger of all.
When his rivals use Rose as leverage in a high-stakes war, Xavier is forced to make a choice-his empire or the woman who has slowly, dangerously become his weakness.
And as the storm rages outside, as the walls close in, he looks her in the eyes and gives her the one choice she never thought she'd have to make:
"I can destroy you, or I can love you. Now, the choice is yours."
But what he doesn't realize?
Rose has never been the kind of woman to be anyone's pawn. And in this game of power, deception, and a love that burns too hot to control...
She just might be the one to destroy him first.
Are you ready for a love story that doesn't play fair?
