SHE RAISED HER STANDARDS. HE RAISED THE STAKES.

Zarina Vitali has a rule: never settle. As a successful architect living with Type 1 Diabetes, her life is a calculation of insulin, precision, and carefully managed control. She doesn't have time for complications, and she certainly doesn't have time for men who see her condition as a burden.
Then she meets Daxton Hayes.

It starts with a Caesar salad in a whiskey bar and a bold joke about his name. Dax isn't just the billionaire CEO of Axiom Digital; he's a man who radiates power and "corporate distress." But he is also the first man to look at Zarina's reality and not blink. instead, he learns to count her carbs, tracks her numbers, and becomes her safe place.

But falling for a titan comes with a target on your back.

When a surprise pregnancy turns their whirlwind romance into a high-stakes reality, their protective bubble is threatened by the one thing they can't control: the outside world. With the pressure mounting and the future uncertain, they must decide if their connection is strong enough to weather the storm.

Zarina thought she set the bar high. Daxton Hayes just raised it higher.
