Daeve

Daeve Morgan doesn't chase power, she designs it. As the youngest CFO in a fiercely competitive cooperate empire, she's built her career on brilliance, brutal efficiency, and a smile sharp enough to draw blood. She has no time for distractions, especially not in the form of Rorik Amsterdam, the company's elusive and infamously cold CEO whose idea of affection looks suspiciously like emotional warfare.

Rorik doesn't do vulnerability. Not in business, not in life, and certainly not with a woman who sees straight through him. But Daeve isn't like anyone he's ever known, clever, composed, and dangerously unbothered by his silences. She matches him stride for stride, smirk for smirk, until avoidance turns to obsession, and control starts to crack.

Behind closed doors and corporate walls, secrets simmer, about ambition, loyalty, and the cost of wanting someone you're not supposed to have.
