One month. One billionaire CEO who never bends. One slip of control—and Sophie Bennett loses everything she came for.
Sophie earns a trial internship at Kane International, a luxury empire where perfection isn’t a goal—it’s the entry fee. Derek Kane rules the forty-second floor with silence, precision, and a stare that makes executives back down. He expects Sophie to stay invisible… until she speaks up in a meeting and proves she’s the smartest person in the room.
Now he pushes her harder. Promotes her faster. Watches her closer. Private assignments pull her into rooms where investors play chess and reputations are currency—and the more Sophie rises, the more dangerous it becomes to want the one man who can end her career with a single word.
When whispers turn sharp—and a glitching elevator traps them with everything unspoken—Sophie discovers the real threat isn’t the rumors. It’s how much Derek wants her, and how far he’ll go to keep his empire from burning.
A steamy, high-tension workplace billionaire romance packed with forbidden chemistry, scandal, and a heroine who refuses to stay small.
