Aurora Kingstone thought she knew exactly how her year-long internship would go. Then the CEO decided to come home.
Desperate to hold on to the last shred of her former life, college student Aurora Kingstone landed a prestigious internship at Russo Enterprises. After a tragic car accident shattered her family's wealth, this is her one chance to build a future.
For three months, the office was safe, sterile, and blissfully boss-free while CEO Dominico Russo managed operations from DC. That peace ends when Dominico decides to permanently relocate the head of his company to New York.
Their first meeting is not in a boardroom, but in a small restaurant where Aurora insults a man she believes is nothing more than an arrogant stranger.
That same day, she discovers that man is Dominico Russo-her new, permanent boss.
To punish her defiance and establish his dominance, Dominico decides his company needs a new, personal assistant. Her.
He is cold, commanding, and dangerously attractive-a ruthless CEO by day and a man who carries the weight of a secret empire by night. As Aurora is forced into his orbit, the professional lines blur into a searing, undeniable attraction.
But the closer she gets, the deeper she sinks into a world of shadows. When Aurora uncovers a truth that links the man she is falling for to the disaster that ruined her family, she must face an impossible choice:
Does she expose the Don and seek the retribution her family deserves, or protect the man who has already stolen her heart?
