There's nothing quite like a charity gala to remind me that I don't belong in this glittering world of polished smiles and cutthroat business deals—at least, not without a price. I've worked tirelessly to build Hadley Enterprises from the ground up, and if I've sacrificed along the way? Fine. It's my empire, and I'd die defending it. Then I met him: Logan Miller, a startup genius with the kind of smirk that should come with a warning label. He was supposed to be just another part of the crowd, yet somehow he had me rethinking my carefully constructed world, one smile at a time. But as if fate couldn't resist a cruel twist, in walks Jack, my past wrapped up in a tailor-made suit, oozing with secrets I've kept buried for years. And Jack knows just where to dig, unraveling my world piece by piece. So, what now? I can't keep dodging shadows—or the chaos that Jack and Logan bring into my life. But how far am I willing to go to defend what I've built? And is it worth losing myself all over again? If I don't take control, my empire—and maybe my heart—might not survive this.
