Nicholas Blackwood is ruthless, irresistibly handsome, and sits at the top of New York's elite as a self-made billionaire. Cold, calculated, and emotionally untouchable, he lives by one rule-never get attached. Women come and go, his empire grows by the day, and feelings are nothing more than distractions.
He doesn't do love. Cold-blooded in the boardroom and reckless in the bedroom, he's the kind of man who breaks hearts just by walking away. With a jawline carved from sin and a smirk that spells danger, New York's most eligible and untouchable billionaire has everything... except peace.
Haunted by betrayal, he built walls no one has dared to climb. Until her.
Reina Lane has nothing. No family, no safety net just a pile of overdue bills and a dream she's long given up on. Working endless shifts at a rundown diner, she's tired of pretending she's okay. Love? She's been burned before. Men like Nicholas don't belong in her world.
But a twist of fate throws them together one that neither of them sees coming. And suddenly, the girl with shattered dreams is on the radar of a man who could ruin her without blinking.
She's the light he didn't know he needed.
He's the chaos she swore to avoid.
And the closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes.
Because Nicholas Blackwood doesn't fall.
Until her.
