Shadows Beneath the Glass

Serena Vale built her empire high above the city, where power is measured in signatures and silence. She has the money, the influence, and the reputation of someone no one dares to cross. But when anonymous photographs of her private life begin appearing on her desk, Serena realizes someone has stepped into her world-and they're watching her every move.

Adrian Cross is the last man she wants by her side. He isn't a bodyguard, not in the traditional sense. He's quiet, calculated, and carries the kind of past no one dares put on paper. Hired to keep her safe, Adrian isn't interested in polite smiles or playing employee. His only goal: find whoever is hunting her, and make sure they never get the chance again.

But as threats close in, Serena discovers that control isn't so easy when the one man she can't intimidate is the one standing too close. And Adrian-who's lived by discipline and distance-learns that some battles can't be won without breaking the rules.
