Naomi Sinclair survived her childhood by learning three things:
Stay quiet.
Stay useful.
Never need anyone.
Now she's a feared corporate lawyer known for her sharp mind and colder personality. She doesn't lose control. She doesn't trust easily. And she definitely doesn't let people get close enough to hurt her.
Then Lucien Moreau walks into her life.
A powerful French investor with dangerous patience, expensive secrets, and a habit of looking at her like he already knows what she's hiding.
When a billion-dollar deal turns into something far more complicated, they're forced to work together to uncover who manipulated the case from the inside.
But the closer they get to the truth, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the tension between them.
Because Lucien Moreau is used to uncovering weaknesses.
And Naomi Sinclair has spent her whole life making sure nobody finds hers.
