Liesel—He prowls into my boardroom like he owns it—broad shoulders, smug smirk, and the kind of danger that doesn’t just whisper, it promises to burn. Jorge Diaz isn’t here to do business. He’s here to dismantle everything I’ve built. Arrogant. Gorgeous. Lethal. He looks at me like he knows every secret I’ve ever buried, and worse—like he wants to strip me down until there’s nowhere left to hide. I should hate him. I should fight him.

She’s supposed to be a means to an end. Instead, she’s becoming the one obsession I can’t let go.
