Sophia: Seven years ago, he almost kissed me. Now he’s back—with eviction papers in one hand and my heart in the other.

I swore I’d never let anyone touch Baby Bump, the nursery store my parents built. But Dante Marino doesn’t play fair. He’s rich, ruthless, and too damn gorgeous in those tailored suits.

Dante: She was supposed to be just another acquisition. Instead, she’s the only thing I can’t bulldoze past.

I built my empire on control, but Sophia unravels me with every furious glare and every stubborn fight across our shared office.

Sophia: Every long night sparks like foreplay. Every storm traps us closer. Every rule we signed says we can’t cross the line.

Dante: But the truth is simple. I can lose contracts, face councils, face down investors.

But I can’t lose her.

No clause. No rules. No empire is worth walking away this time.
