The Devil Doesn't Kneel
Power doesn't impress her.
Fear doesn't control him.
When Vivian Ashford, the ruthless CEO of Ashford Security Group, publicly rejects a billion-dollar partnership, she becomes the first person to tell Lucien Moreau "no" without flinching.
Lucien is a man who gets whatever he wants. Cold, calculating, and impossible to read, he has spent years building an empire where everyone obeys his commands.
Vivian isn't everyone.
Their rivalry soon becomes the talk of London's business world. Every meeting is a battlefield. Every conversation ends in sharp insults. Neither is willing to lose, and neither notices when hatred slowly turns into something far more dangerous.
But power comes at a price.
As hidden enemies begin targeting both empires, Vivian and Lucien are forced into an uneasy alliance. Trust is impossible. Walking away is worse.
The closer they get, the more they realize that the only person capable of breaking their walls... is the one they swore to defeat.
In a world where everyone fears them, they finally meet the one person they can't control.
And for the first time in their lives...
The devil doesn't kneel.
He falls.
