Kings of Capital

He can’t have me, even though he thinks I’ll give in to him again. Not this time. This time, I’m here to keep my distance, even as the lines between us start to blur. He is Carter Ross—the enigmatic, infuriating man I spent one unforgettable night with before I knew he’d be my new boss. As dangerous as he is captivating, now he’s the one pursuing me—his gaze a promise, his touch a dare. To him, I’m a temptation he refuses to resist. To me, he’s a mistake I can’t afford to make twice. Because that was the past… Today is a fresh start—a new job at a secluded estate. A chance to start over.

He shouldn’t look at me like this… but with him, resisting was never an option. Coming home wasn’t part of the plan. But one scandal, one ruined career, and here I am—back at the university, starting over. And then I see him. Connor Driscoll. My ex-best friend, the one I left behind without a word… and now my boss. To him, I’m a reckless memory, someone he shouldn’t trust. To me, he’s temptation and danger wrapped into one—all lean muscles and brooding stares that leave me breathless. He thinks I’ll stay out of his way, that I won’t cross the line again. But that was before…

My truth is control. My truth is that good is rewardedand that bad is punished. Aubrey Knight thought she could disrupt my business and get away with it. But, she was sorely mistaken. So, when her father lost the election and came to me begging for money, I struck a deal. The little brat would serve as collateral until the loan was repaid. She thinks she can test me. How laughable. She will learn that my house has rules, and she will learn to follow them.
