"Open your legs."
Cassian's voice is low. Commanding. The kind of tone that makes your pulse skip before your brain can catch up.

I should be afraid. I should leave.
But instead, my breath stutters in my chest, and I meet his eyes with fire in mine.

"No."
Just one word, but it tastes like defiance. Like control I don't really have.

His lips curl into a slow, dangerous smirk. "No?" he echoes, like it's cute. Like I'm a challenge he's already decided he's going to win.

I don't get a second to blink before his hands are on me-rough, unyielding-as he rips my thighs apart, shoving my dress up without a hint of patience.

Air catches in my throat. I should hate this. I should fight harder.
But the look in his eyes when he sees me-hungry, possessive, like I'm already his-makes my skin burn.

"Perfect," he murmurs, and God help me, I believe him.

Hill Swartz LLP: a name synonymous with precision, power, and cold efficiency. Founded by the iron-willed Sebastian Hill and the sharp-as-a-knife Daniel Swartz, the firm is a kingdom built on rules, boundaries, and the unwavering separation of the professional and the personal. Their world runs like a finely tuned machine, each part moving seamlessly, each cog in place. Until, one call shatters everything. Daniel's father is gravely ill, and there's no time to lose. The urgency is immediate, and there is no room for hesitation. He must go. But there's a problem-his daughter, Rene. Stuck in the throes of law school, she can neither go with him nor remain in her family's home. As the cherished, overprotected girl of the family, she's Daniel's world, and no one else would do. Not even the hands of strangers. So, in a moment of desperate clarity, he does the only thing he can. He entrusts her into the care of his firm's partner, the ever-composed Sebastian Hill. Sebastian's first glance at Rene is like a bullet to the chest. He's been through it all-nothing rattles him, nothing unseats him. Or so he thought. But in the silence of that first look, something snaps. A single instant, and a chasm forms between them, deepening and widening with every breath they take. It's not enough to drown them, but it's enough to bring a storm. This storm, however, is like none either of them has ever faced. The situation is tragic, vehemence unhinged, with emotions spinning out of control like a tempest that neither can predict nor contain. Boundaries are blurred, hearts are torn between what they want and what they know is forbidden. Their struggle will change the course of their lives, their firm, and their very selves. The question isn't whether they will fall-it's how far they will fall and if they'll ever find their way back. [First Book of the V-series] A Stand-alone Novel.
