Billionaire. CEO. Playboy. Untouchable. Alexander Cross has it all-except a life free of secrets.
By day, he rules the boardroom with unmatched power. By night, he wields magic so dangerous it could destroy everything... if anyone ever discovered it.
Enter the new assistant: smart, fearless, and unknowingly holding the key to an ancient artifact Alexander has spent centuries protecting. One touch, one glance, and the careful balance of his world begins to unravel.
Power. Secrets. Desire.
In a world where magic hides in plain sight, falling for him might be the most dangerous choice of all.
Working the midnight shift at a rundown café was supposed to be temporary.. just until I could pay off my student loans and get my life together.
Then HE walked in.
Dark. Dangerous. Devastatingly handsome. And every night at exactly 11:47 PM, he'd order black coffee and sit at table seven until midnight, watching me like I held the answers to secrets I didn't even know existed.
I should have known a man like Gabriel Cross didn't just stumble into my world by accident.
Now I'm discovering that my quiet life was built on lies, my family isn't who I thought they were, and the mysterious stranger who makes my heart race? He's been hired to protect me from enemies I never knew I had.
But when fake becomes real and protection turns to obsession, I have to decide:
Is loving Gabriel Cross worth risking everything I thought I knew about myself?
Some secrets are worth dying for. Others are worth living for.
**Kiss me after midnight, and I'll show you the difference.**
