She was supposed to uncover the truth. Not fall for the man who could destroy her.

Lily thought she had her life under control ? a rising career, a sharp instinct for lies, and a promise never to let emotions cloud her judgment again. But everything changes when her investigation leads her to Evan Reyes ? a powerful, enigmatic heir with secrets buried beneath charm and silence.

Their paths were never meant to cross. But when a collapsing beam nearly takes her life, it's his arms that catch her. And something deeper begins to unravel between them.

What begins as mistrust spirals into desire. But with every look, every almost-kiss, Lily senses a truth no report can explain ? that Evan is both protector and threat.

As whispers of corruption, family loyalty, and betrayal close in, Lily must make an impossible choice:

Can she trust the man who's been trained to hide?
Or walk away before falling for a truth too dangerous to hold?

A gripping, slow-burn billionaire romance filled with longing, secrets, and a love that dares to defy the odds.
