What price are you willing to pay for the truth when the man hiding it is also the only one who can destroy you? Elena is merely seeking a temporary contract to survive in New York. Silas offers her a job, but demands absolute obedience and silence. He is Manhattan's most powerful CEO; she is an assistant with more fire than fear. But within the glass walls of the Sky Tower, the tension isn't professional. It's visceral, dangerous, and on the verge of exploding. When Elena discovers a secret clause in her contract, she grasps the harsh reality: she's not just his employee, she's his human shield against a dark, treacherous past. As the corporate world circles to uncover their secrets, the attraction between them becomes a battle of wills where every touch is a trap and every kiss, a surrender. Can Silas control his possessive nature without consuming her? Or will Elena let herself be swept away by the gravity of a love that promises redemption but threatens ruin? A contemporary dark romance novel with high sexual tension and corporate drama. Perfect for those who love alpha CEOs, 'enemies to lovers' dynamics, and stories where love hurts as much as it heals.
