Game

Seven years ago, Leah Morgan was the girl everyone mocked—the orphan humiliated and betrayed by the people she trusted the most. Forced to leave New York with nothing but pain and a burning desire for revenge, she disappeared… and rebuilt herself into someone unrecognizable. Now at twenty-three, Leah returns to the city stronger, smarter, and more dangerous. Her goal is simple: destroy Clara, the woman who ruined her life. But revenge becomes complicated when Leah lands a job as the executive secretary to Alexander Holton, New York’s most powerful and untouchable billionaire CEO. Cold, ruthless, and feared in the business world, Alexander is a man who never lets anyone get close. Until Leah. A single night of unexpected passion binds their fates together, turning a calculated plan into a dangerous game of desire, obsession, and secrets. As Leah gets closer to her revenge, she discovers something far more complicated than hatred—feelings she never planned for. But in a world ruled by power and betrayal, love can be the greatest weakness of all. And for Alexander Holton… Leah Morgan might be the only one he has.

"I want to hear it from you. I want to watch you look me in the eye and tell me they aren't mine… without looking away even once." I swallowed hard, because the game he was playing was cruel. I knew that the slightest flicker in my expression would feed his suspicions. I lifted my chin, met his gaze without blinking, and spoke slowly, "They. Are. Not. Yours." The muscle in Damian's jaw tightened, and his breath brushed my face, warm and steady. "You've gotten better at this, Harper," he murmured, using my last name like a provocation. "But you're still not that good." "Or maybe you're just hearing what you want to hear," I shot back, fighting the suffocating closeness. "You hate losing. But sometimes, losing is inevitable. Accept it and get out of my life." Stella was desperate. After dropping out of college to pay off the debts her father left behind, all she wanted was a fresh start, even if that meant forging a résumé and swallowing her pride to land a job as the secretary to the ruthless CEO Damian Winter. What she didn't expect was that her new boss would be as irresistible as he was dangerous. Or that a series of sharp provocations and intense encounters would lead to an indecent contract. A secret agreement ruled by power and desire, in which Stella committed to satisfying Damian's every whim, with one single condition: she could never get pregnant. But what would happen when Stella discovered she had broken that rule? Now pregnant and emotionally shattered, Stella learned from the news on TV that Damian was engaged to a wealthy heiress. Hiding the truth seemed like her only option. But secrets would never stay buried forever.

He couldn't resist. Between sharp banter, power games, forbidden desire, and nights thick with tension, two hearts scarred by the past begin to discover that love might be the most dangerous game of all.
