Zara Ellis is broke, overqualified, and one bad month away from losing everything when she lands a job as executive assistant to Damien Kade Wolfe, the cold and untouchable billionaire who runs Seattle's most powerful private equity firm. She expects difficult. She expects demanding. She does not expect the way he looks at her like she is a problem he is actively trying not to solve, or the pull she feels every time she walks into his orbit, or the strange, electric quality the air takes on whenever they are alone. Damien has built his life around control, distance, and the kind of silence that keeps people from getting close enough to matter. Zara has spent years making herself smaller so other people could feel larger, and she is done with it. What begins as professional friction quickly becomes something neither of them has the vocabulary for, something old and instinctive and dangerous, drawing them together even as the secrets between them multiply. Because Damien Kade Wolfe is not just a billionaire. And Zara Ellis did not walk through his revolving door by accident. And the truth about who they are to each other will either burn everything down or be the one thing neither of them can survive walking away from.
