“She was his most valuable asset and his most guarded secret. He threw her away without a second thought. Now she's fighting for her freedom, and he's using every weapon in his arsenal to break her. For seven years, Jaylyn Brennan was Haiden Holland's secret weapon. She was his brilliant, relentless fixer at Holland Corp and his fiercely loyal lover in the shadows. Her life revolved around him, her loyalty absolute. That was until she walked into his penthouse and found Haiden with a sweet-faced socialite, Evie Mcmillan, perched on his lap. Haiden didn't just end it; he eviscerated her. In front of his new plaything, he mocked her as disposable, a mere convenience to be discarded. Humiliated and heartbroken, Jaylyn did the only thing she could: she walked away, blocking his number and vowing to start a new life. She even found a path to peace in a gentle, promising new relationship. But Haiden refuses to let her go quietly. He paints her as the other woman, a dangerous obsession he can't shake. He uses his power to trap her at the company, forcing her to work on a critical project so she can't resign. Just as she begins to rebuild her world, Evie's fragile, innocent act shatters into chaos, and Jaylyn finds herself on the receiving end of a violent attack engineered by her rival. Bleeding and concussed in a hospital bed, Jaylyn doesn't receive an apology from Haiden. Instead, she gets an accusation. "Stop pretending," he sneers, his gaze cold. "I'm only here to make sure you don't die and leave Evie with psychological trauma." He then has her locked in her ward to keep her from causing any more trouble for his new girlfriend. For seven years, she gave him everything. Her youth, her ambition, her unwavering loyalty. In return, he gave her a prison sentence and a shattered heart. But this is the last straw. Lying in that sterile room, staring at the locked door, the last shred of love for him dies. She picks up her phone and texts her new lawyer for help. It's time to sever every tie, burn every bridge, and escape this toxic cage at any cost. Because she's done being his secret. Now, she's ready to be his nightmare.”
