LYRA
By Katie Bulris
In the cutthroat world of the Volkov Empire, Lyra is the ultimate weapon: silent, efficient, and utterly indispensable.
For three years, Lyra has been the iron fist in Viktor Volkov's velvet glove. As his executive assistant, she manages his life, his ledgers, and his enemies with surgical precision. She knows every secret he keeps, every body he's buried, and exactly how he likes his coffee at 7:15 AM. To the world, she is a ghost in a charcoal suit. To Viktor, she is the only person he can trust in a city of vipers.
But Lyra has a secret of her own-a vibrant, daring life hidden beneath the professional mask.
On Viktor's birthday, a carefully planned evening spirals out of control, stripping away their defenses and exposing the raw, dangerous hunger simmering between them. From the high-stakes silence of the boardroom to the electric chaos of a Rangers game and the neon pulse of Manhattan's most exclusive clubs, the lines between "boss" and "secretary" begin to blur.
As Viktor realizes that the woman who runs his empire has also captured his heart, a new, even more powerful alliance is born. But in a world where vulnerability is a death sentence, their greatest challenge won't be seizing power-it will be protecting the new life they're building together.
She ran his empire. He claimed her heart. Now, they're about to change everything.
