She’s the chaos he didn’t know he’d crave. In a world ruled by ambition, and carefully curated reputations—love became the most dangerous clause of all. Danica Clarke doesn’t play by anyone’s rules—except her own. She is a storm in stilettos—flawless, ferocious, and utterly untouchable. The one who eats boardroom sharks for breakfast and signs multimillion-dollar deals before her morning espresso cools. She built her empire from blood, grit, and brilliance Love to her? It is for weak-hearted and daydreamers—not for women with empires to build. Alfred Brown is a walking contradiction to Danica: Infuriatingly charming, disarmingly kind and with a smile that could melt the ice in her veins, and a soul so golden that it's almost blinding. He’s everything she mocks—and everything she secretly aches for. A romantic in a world of cynics. A whisper of poetry to her hard-edged pragmatism. A devil in disguise—wrapped in calm, cloaked in confidence, and fitted in a billion-dollar suit that hides sins she can’t stop imagining. When a fake dating scheme throws them together, sparks aren't just flying—they’re catching fire. Every glance is a tease, every touch a dare, every lie they tell the world only deepens the truth brewing between them. The heat simmers. The tension snaps and suddenly, lines get crossed—in the boardroom, in the bedroom, and in the space between wanting and needing. Because sometimes, the last person you’d ever fall for…is the one who makes you fall the hardest ____________________________ Author's Note: Hey lovely readers!

Every thrust seemed to blur the line between surrender and defiance. Then she whispered a name between her sweet cries ...it wasn’t mine. I froze. A slow, humorless smile curved my lips as the sound of his name filled the space between us. “Raph…” she breathed. I leaned in, my mouth brushing her ear.

I felt her body tense. She clawed at my shoulders, a desperate plea in every touch. “Don’t…” she whimpered. Those jade-like eyes unravelled me that moment. I could feel the ache in my trousers. A troublesome little viper. A cruel smile traced my lips hiding my emotions. “You called the wrong name,” I murmured, my voice low, dangerous. “And bad girls deserve to be punished.” Her glossy eyes met mine... so full of confusion, want, and power she didn’t yet understand.
