I don't care how many zeros are on your paycheck, Miss Vance. In this building, I am God. And you are nothing but a trespasser." Christian Hawke is a tyrant in a bespoke suit. As the ruthless, hyper-dominant CEO of Hawke Shipping, he rules his billion-dollar empire with an iron fist. He is a man used to absolute, unquestioned control. So when his panicked board of directors bypasses him to hire me—the industry’s most lethal corporate fixer—Christian declares open war. He wants to break me. He tries to drown me in impossible workloads, freeze me out of boardrooms, and intimidate me with his towering, suffocating presence. But I didn't survive a cutthroat, male-dominated industry by backing down from arrogant billionaires. I am Elena Vance, and I don't flinch. Every clash between us is sharp, vicious, and electric. But anger is a dangerous fuel. During a tense, late-night storm locked in his top-floor office, the thin line between burning hatred and blinding frustration snaps. A screaming match turns into a frantic, breathless collision behind closed doors. It was supposed to be a mistake. A one-time release to get each other out of our systems. Instead, it opens a dark, addictive gateway. By day, we are corporate enemies plotting each other’s ruin in the boardroom. By night, we are tearing each other's clothes off in the shadows of his penthouse, crossing lines that can never be uncrossed. Christian thinks he can make ruthless demands in the bedroom just like the boardroom—but I am no one's captive. As corporate secrets unravel and outside enemies threaten to destroy the empire, the ice begins to melt, exposing a fierce, possessive intimacy neither of us saw coming. In a war where hearts are the ultimate casualty, who will be the one to finally bend the knee?

"Congratulations, Host! Your mission is to survive, thrive, and make the Villain Duke fall in love with you!" Ivy Everhart, a bookstore owner with a passion for bad endings, would have preferred to stay dead after getting shot. Instead, she wakes up as the other Ivy—the pathetic, hated canon fodder wife destined to be executed by the world’s most ruthless man: Duke Lucien Ashburn. According to the original plot, the Duke is supposed to cast her aside and end her life. According to Ivy? Not on her watch. Armed with nothing but a sassy, glitchy system and zero survival skills, Ivy decides to trade her "spoiled noblewoman" act for maximum chaos. She isn't just trying to survive; she’s trying to rewrite the script. The problem? The Duke isn't playing along. Lucien was supposed to be cold, brooding, and indifferent. Instead, he’s watching her every move with a terrifying, possessive intensity that definitely wasn't in the original book. Between accidentally flirting with the villain and surviving assassination attempts from the plot itself, Ivy realizes that staying alive is hard—but staying away from the man who was supposed to kill her is proving to be impossible. Survival Rule #1: Avoid the plot. Survival Rule #2: Steal the Duke's heart. Survival Rule #3: Try not to die in the process.

"Stop." His voice is low and controlled and furious underneath both. "Whatever you're doing in there the books, the reading, the tucking in — stop." "They asked me to read to them," I say evenly. "I don't care what they asked." He takes a step toward me and I hold my ground, which seems to make it worse. "You've been here for just less than two weeks, and you're already in Dorian's room, touching his things, letting them climb all over you like you're" He stops, jaw tight. "You're not their mother. You're on a twelve-month contract." "I'm aware of what I am," I say. "Are you?" Something sharp enters his expression. "Because from where I'm standing it looks like a woman playing a very long game. Soften up the children, charm the staff, make yourself indispensable — and then what? You think I don't see it?" Something cold moves through my chest, but I keep my face neutral. "You think I'm doing this to get to you." "Aren't you?" He says it like it's obvious, like I'm naive for pretending otherwise, and the contempt in it is so clean and practiced that for one second I almost believe I deserve it. "You should wake up from that delusion. Whatever you think you're building here — it won't work, you will never have me." He moves before I register it, closing the distance between us in one smooth step, and then his hand is at my neck, warm and deliberate, his thumb pressing lightly against my pulse like he's checking whether I'm afraid, and the answer my body gives him is humiliating. His mouth drops to the curve of my neck and shoulder, not rough — slow, purposeful, his lips dragging against my skin like he has all the time in the world and knows exactly what he's doing with it, and I shudder despite everything I know about this man and this moment and exactly what he's trying to prove. "This," he murmurs against my skin, his voice low and terrible and close, "is all you'll ever get from me." ********* Sloane Carter had her work stolen, her body broken, and her heart shattered in pieces. Then a truck ran her off the road on a rainy night, and she woke up inside the worst romance novel she had ever read. Wrong century, wrong country. Wrong body. Twelve-month contract marriage to a man carved from ice, three feral six-year-olds, and a dead man's secret buried so deep the whole empire is rotting from the root. In the novel, the heroine smiles gently, loves quietly, and dies before anyone notices she was worth saving. Sloane has bruised ribs, a stolen career, years of swallowed rage and absolutely no intention of following the original script. The cold CEO didn't bargain for a woman who'd already survived the worst he could ever be. Neither did the man who put her in that car. He thought killing Sloane Carter would silence her. He had no idea it would set her free.
