Trapped by her father’s debts, she accepts an onerous job for Zayn Al-Fayed, the coldest and most lethal heir in the energy sector. The rules are clear: absolute efficiency and total distance.

And Gema, with her razor-sharp intellect and unyielding sarcasm, is the only one who dares to look him in the eyes without flinching. What begins as an ego battle in the high-rises of Canary Wharf quickly transforms into unbearable sexual tension. Every meeting becomes a battlefield, every accidental touch a promise of fire. When a media scandal threatens to destroy both their reputations, the line between power and passion blurs completely. But Zayn harbors secrets that could cost him everything. And Gema carries a past that binds her with invisible chains. In a game of corporate betrayals and fragile loyalties, they’ll discover that the real danger isn’t losing control—it’s realizing that love is the only defeat worth having. Contemporary romance with high tension, explicit eroticism, and explosive chemistry.
