When Lena Carter lands a ghostwriting job for reclusive billionaire Ethan Wolfe, she has no idea she's about to step into a world of secrets, wealth, and emotional chaos. Ethan only hired her to help with his biography to clean up his public image-but her presence stirs emotions he buried long ago. As their professional relationship turns personal, Ethan must choose between the safety of solitude and the danger of loving again.

Chapter 1 The Interview

The rain hadn't stopped for three days straight, and Lena Carter was starting to wonder if the weather was just as moody as her bank account. She stood outside the glossy glass doors of Wolfe Industries, soaked halfway to the bone, her umbrella turned inside out by a rogue gust of wind five minutes earlier. Her hair was a frizzing mess. Her coat was two seasons old. And she was about to walk into the most high-stakes interview of her life looking like a drowned, underpaid writer from Brooklyn-which, to be fair, she was.

The security guard barely looked up as she gave her name.

"Carter. Lena Carter. I'm here for the 9:30 appointment."

He checked his tablet, then nodded. "Thirty-second floor. He's waiting."

He?

They hadn't said he on the phone. They hadn't said anything, really-just that a very private client was looking for a ghostwriter to work on a confidential memoir and had read one of Lena's freelance pieces online.

The elevator ride was long and silent, the kind that gave her time to question everything about her life choices. She adjusted her scarf, dabbed at her cheeks with a napkin she'd stuffed in her bag, and muttered to herself, "You got this, Lena. It's just an interview. Just a billionaire, probably. No big deal."

The doors opened to a sleek, minimalist office with floor-to-ceiling windows and a skyline view worth more than her entire student loan debt. Which was saying something.

And then she saw him.

Ethan Wolfe.

Yes, that Ethan Wolfe.

Tech mogul. Billionaire recluse. Owner of the Wolfe Foundation and half of Silicon Valley's respect. Also rumored to be cold, unreachable, and completely uninterested in human connection.

He didn't stand to greet her. He didn't even smile. Just sat behind a massive black marble desk, staring at her with the intensity of someone who didn't waste time on pleasantries.

"You're late."

"I'm not," she said, lifting her chin. "You're early."

His brow ticked upward slightly. "Interesting first impression."

"Well," she said, setting her soaked bag down on the chair beside her, "I've always been told I leave a memorable one."

He studied her-no, dissected her-with eyes the color of a storm. His suit was tailored to perfection, his jawline sharp enough to cut glass. This was not a man used to being challenged, and Lena could already tell he didn't like surprises.

"This project," he said slowly, "is not just about telling a story. It's about controlling a narrative. My narrative."

"And you want a ghostwriter for that," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "Why not just write it yourself?"

"Because," he said, standing now and walking toward the window, "I don't write about the past. I bury it."

Lena's breath caught. For a second, the air between them shifted, crackled with something unsaid.

But he turned before she could speak again, and his tone was clipped.

"You'll sign an NDA before you leave. If I choose you, you'll move into the guest residence for three months. Full access. No personal interviews, no publishing rights, no leaks. You write what I give you. Nothing more."

She blinked. "Three months? Living on-site?"

"Is that a problem?"

It should've been. It should have screamed red flag. But rent was due, her fridge was empty, and something about Ethan Wolfe's eyes made her want to unravel the man behind the name.

"No problem," she said. "I'm in."

For the first time, he smiled. Barely. But it was there.

And Lena Carter knew, in that moment, that her life was about to change.

I'm a moaning mess as Antonio slams into me from behind. His hips hit me hard, and each deep thrust sends shockwaves through my body. My breasts bounce with every movement, my eyes roll back, and I moan his name without control. The pleasure he gives me is overwhelming-I can't hold it in. I feel my walls tighten around his thick length. The pressure builds fast, and then- I explode around him, my orgasm tearing through me. He groans loud and deep as he releases inside me, his hot seed spilling into me in thick pulses. Just when I think he's done, his grip shifts. He turns me over and lays me flat on the bed. His dark eyes stare into mine for a moment, filled with raw hunger. I glance down- He's still hard. Before I can react, he grabs my wrists, pins me down, and pushes himself inside me again. He fills me completely. My hips rise on instinct, meeting his rhythm. Our bodies move together, locked in a wild, uncontrollable dance. "You're fucking sweet," he groans, his voice rough and breathless. "I can't get enough of you... not after that night, Sol," he growls, slamming into me harder. The force of his words and his thrusts make my body shake. "Come for me," he commands, his voice low and full of heat. And just like that, my body trembles. Waves of pleasure crash over me. I cry out, shaking with the force of my orgasm. "Mine," he growls again, louder this time. His voice is feral, wild, like a beast claiming what belongs to him. The sound sends a shiver down my spine. *** Solene was betrayed, humiliated, and erased by Rowan Brook, the man she once called husband, Solene is left with nothing but her name and a burning hunger for revenge. She turns to the one man powerful enough to destroy the Brooks family from within: Rowan's estranged and dangerous uncle, Antonio Rodriguez. He's ruthless. A playboy who never sleeps with the same woman twice. But when Solene walks into his world, he doesn't just break the rules, he creates new ones just for her. What begins as a calculated game quickly spirals into obsession, power plays, and secrets too deadly to stay buried. Because Solene isn't just anyone's ex... she's the woman they should've never underestimated. Can she survive the price of revenge? Or will her heart become the next casualty? And when the truth comes out, will Antonio still choose her... or destroy her?
