Sovereign Override

Nerissa Volkova is twenty-two, brilliant, sarcastic, and one bad day away from losing her mind in Gotham City.

After becoming the top of her class at Gotham University, the last thing she wants is an internship at Wayne Enterprises working under Gotham's most insufferable billionaire. Bruce Wayne is exactly what she expected: arrogant, emotionally unavailable, ridiculously attractive, and handed every opportunity life could offer on a silver platter.

Nerissa already hates him on sight.

Unfortunately for her, Bruce Wayne seems just as interested in her as she is irritated by him.

What starts as late-night projects and reluctant conversations slowly becomes something far more dangerous. Because beneath Bruce's billionaire charm is a man carrying enough secrets to drown a city - and somehow Nerissa keeps getting pulled deeper into them. Into Wayne Manor. Into the lives of the boys who orbit Bruce like broken stars. Into a family she never meant to love.

And loving them becomes the worst mistake she's ever made.

Because Gotham is built on lies.

And so is Nerissa.

The memories she clings to - Greece, her cold mother, the broken family she spent her whole life outrunning - might not be real at all. Strange dreams, violent instincts, and fragments of Russian she doesn't remember learning begin clawing their way to the surface the closer she gets to Bruce.

Then everything falls apart.

The betrayal.
The Batcave.
Volchitsa.

Now Nerissa is forced to confront the horrifying truth: she isn't just another genius girl trying to survive Gotham. She's something far more dangerous.

And Bruce Wayne?

He may be the only thing capable of bringing her back from the edge.

If he doesn't destroy her first.
