Toxic Relationship

They say wine gets better with age. And being the assistant to the most powerful CEO in the country is far from easy… but I love it. Andrew Tanner is a good man, someone I deeply respect, and I’ve always kept things professional—no matter how dangerous it is to admit that he’s also incredibly attractive. He’s much older than me, and I know my place. Or at least, I thought I did… until a private email lands in my hands by mistake, changing everything. After nearly twelve years at the top of the company, Andrew never imagined that his greatest temptation wouldn’t be a billion-dollar deal, but his assistant—young, brilliant, and far too close. When someone from his past resurfaces with a dangerous blackmail, threatening to destroy everything he’s built, Johari becomes his strongest support… and his greatest weakness. A relationship between them is taboo. Forbidden. Andrew is nearly forty-five. Johari is twenty-eight. He’s her boss. She knows it. They both feel the attraction. Can they keep their feelings a secret… or will desire expose them both? **** ©Work registered with Safe Creative.

Vanessa Hart hated her boss and job. But she was drowning in debt, and the salary she earned as the assistant to the president of Sterling Group was too good to walk away from. After a single incident turns her life upside down, Vanessa finally quit, never imagining that she'd soon be bound to the very man she claimed to despise. Adrian Sterling was powerful, magnetic… and dangerously unpredictable. Beneath his control lay a man driven by strange obsessions and a darkness he kept carefully hidden. When he offered Vanessa a contract marriage in exchange for a life-changing sum of money, she saw it as her only path to freedom. But what she didn't know… was that stepping into his world meant facing a temptation far darker than she had ever imagined. One that would pull her straight into the center of his most dangerous desires… and her own.
