Kaiza Thorne is cold, calculating, and utterly smart-not just in business but in life. At 24, he is already one of the most feared and respected billionaires in the industry. People obey him without question, and he expects nothing less than control.
Except when it comes to Florence Hale-his quiet, soft-spoken best friend.
Florence has always been the one person he can't control. Unlike the countless women who throw themselves at him, she never asks for anything. She prefers silence over attention, solitude over parties, and paintings over money.
They have been best friends for years-her gentle presence balancing out his ruthless nature. He watches over her, protects her, and silently claims her as his, even though she doesn't know it yet.
But when Florence suddenly announces she's moving away for an art residency, Kaiza snaps.
She belongs to him. She just doesn't realize it yet.
Determined not to lose her, Kaiza makes an offer she can't refuse-a deal that forces her to stay by his side. But the more time she spends around him, the more she starts seeing him in a different light-not just as her best friend, but as a man.
And when Kaiza finally decides to break the walls between them, Florence will have no choice but to surrender to the man who has always owned her-heart, body, and soul.
