Worth More Than Money

At nineteen, Serena has learned one truth the hard way - nothing in life comes free. With college only weeks away and her bank account barely breathing, she grabs the one opportunity that could change everything: a coveted internship at Blackwell Industries, the kind of company people like her aren't supposed to step foot in.

Serena expects long hours, impossible tasks, and rich interns who've never worried about rent.
She does not expect Cole Blackwell.

At twenty‑five, Cole is the youngest CEO in the company's history - rich, brilliant, and emotionally frozen. He was raised to believe money is power, control, safety... and that anything can be bought for the right price. Employees fear him. Interns avoid him. Cole prefers it that way.

Until Serena walks into his office with her thrift‑store blazer, steady voice, and eyes that see straight through him.

She's the first person who doesn't flinch.
The first person who doesn't want anything from him.
The first person he can't buy, intimidate, or forget.

As their worlds collide - her warmth against his coldness, her honesty against his walls - Cole finds himself breaking every rule he's ever lived by. And Serena discovers that the man behind the money is far more complicated, far more lonely, and far more dangerous to her heart than she ever imagined.

But in a world built on power and wealth, falling for each other comes with a cost.
And Serena must decide if love from a man like Cole is worth risking the future she's fought so hard to build.

Because some things are priceless.
And some things are worth more than money.
