📖 Story Description / Summary:
Ariana West never asked for an easy life-just a fair one.
Orphaned young, tossed between foster homes, and hardened by years of struggle, she fought tooth and nail to graduate with honors. But instead of landing her dream job, she's serving fries in a cheap diner... until one night, a customer crosses the line and dares to touch her. Ariana fights back. Fiercely. And she gets fired for it.
Alone, broke, and furious at the world, she stumbles across a job posting at BlackCore Industries, owned by the one and only Ated Black-a name that makes boardrooms flinch and hearts stop.
They call him the Devil in a Suit.
Cold. Cunning. Calculated.
With a glare that can freeze blood and a mind sharper than any knife, Ated doesn't believe in emotions-or distractions. Especially not from a woman who talks back.
But Ariana West is not just any woman.
She's fire.
And when fire meets ice, someone is going to melt.
This isn't a love story.
This is war in a glass tower.
And the prize?
Power. Pride. And maybe... love.
