The heavy oak door of the archives clicked shut behind me at 7:12 PM. Twelve minutes late.
Kane was already waiting in the dim, quiet alcove. His posture was rigid, his laptop aligned perfectly parallel to the edge of the mahogany table, his dark eyes fixed on the silver watch resting against his wrist. The calm, sweet golden-boy mask was nowhere to be found-only the cold, unyielding precision underneath.
"Twelve minutes, Amelia," Kane murmured, his voice dropping an octave as he slowly stood up, closing the distance between us until I was backed against the edge of the high bookshelf. The scent of rain and fresh cedar rolled off him, heavy and suffocating. "Twelve minutes of uncalculated delay."
"The market swung two hundred points at close, Sterling," I shot back, my pulse hammering against my ribs as I tilted my head up to meet his dark, furious gaze. "I was locking in a six-figure profit while you were staring at the clock."
"I don't give a damn about the profit," he rasped, leaning in until his breath brushed against my lips, trapping me completely in his space. His hand slammed onto the wood right beside my head, his knuckles white with tension. "I care that you think you can walk into my life, blow up my schedule, and drive me completely out of my fucking mind without consequences."
I held my breath, the air between us suddenly thin, charged, and dangerous.
"Then handle it, Sterling," I whispered, my voice barely a thread, refusing to back down. "Or are you afraid to touch something you can't control?"

Deeply obsessed
Tasha Clarke is twenty-seven and stuck. What was meant to be a temporary job at a golf club has stretched into years of serving drinks, forcing smiles, and enduring the leers of men twice her age. With her best friend Nyla's wedding on the horizon, Tasha can't help but feel left behind. Nyla has love, stability, and a future. Tasha has routine and a gnawing hunger for something more-something dangerous enough to make her feel alive again. Across the ocean, 30 year-old, Ignacio Montoya prepares to step into Seattle for the first time in years. His empire stretches across continents, claiming cities like New York, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles in blood and power. But Seattle remains unscarred-a weakness he intends to remedy. On the surface, Ignacio comes as a best man, to toast the wedding of his oldest friend. Beneath the tailored suit, however, lies a predator's intent. He sees Seattle not as a city of celebration, but as prey. Ignacio Montoya is a storm-silent until he breaks, relentless once he does. While Tasha aches for change and Ignacio charts his conquest, fate coils their paths together. What begins as a wedding celebration will unravel into something far more dangerous: a collision of hunger and power, yearning and control. When the storm finally reaches her, Tasha Clarke's life-and Seattle itself-will never be the same.Complete
