The CEO's Price of Revenge

Sera Vance's world imploded when the ruthless CEO, Alaric Thorne, orchestrated the downfall of her family's esteemed fashion empire, leaving them bankrupt and disgraced. Now, with her father's health failing and their ancestral home threatened, Sera needs access to proprietary designs Thorne unjustly acquired—designs that could resurrect her family's legacy and clear their tarnished name. But Alaric, a man with eyes of piercing obsidian and a voice that feels like silk over steel, relishes her desperation. He offers her a devil's bargain: work for him, under his command, as his personal assistant, and he *might* consider her plea. Each shared glance is an electric current, every demand a challenge to her composure. Her heart hammers against her ribs, a frantic rhythm against the terrifying pull he exerts. Failure means losing everything—her family's honor, their home, and potentially, her very soul to the man she despises yet cannot deny. Can she outwit the man who holds her fate in his cruel, captivating hands, or will their escalating war of wills ignite a forbidden inferno that consumes them both?
