Terms of surrender

She built her career on seeing what everyone else missed.

When corporate attorney Ava Reyes uncovers a single clause buried in one of Dante Moretti's contracts, she expects a legal dispute-not a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the deal itself.

Dante Moretti has spent years building an empire on control. He trusts almost no one. But Ava is different. Brilliant, relentless, and impossible to intimidate, she's the first person in years to challenge him without ever forgetting exactly who he is.

As hidden financial trails begin to expose a far larger scheme, every answer draws them deeper into dangerous territory. Yet the greatest threat isn't the investigation.

It's the quiet, relentless attraction growing between them.

Because Dante refuses to take what isn't freely given.

And Ava has never been the one to ask.

But some lines become impossible to hold.

What begins as desire slowly becomes something neither of them expected-something far more dangerous than either of them is willing to admit. And when the time comes to choose between control and surrender, they must decide whether they're willing to let everything change.
