Natalia, the personal assistant to one of the most influential Black tech moguls, can’t help but be captivated by his brazen younger brother, Tim, the force behind their security. Every lesson handed down from her mother screams that he’s danger wrapped in charisma. And oh, how he thrives in that knowledge, moving with a confidence that says he’s known many a woman’s touch. For Tim, Natalia’s just another name to add to the long list of beautiful women he’s conquered. He can’t fathom being tied down until Natalia becomes the calm that helps him weather his personal storms. When an unexpected run-in with Natalia’s ex blurs boundaries, the simmering tension between them bubbles over. With every stolen glance and touch, they plunge deeper into an unexpected intimacy. Natalia has her own dark past to reckon with, but Tim’s shadowy past and unsolved demons loom just as large, challenging a bond neither saw coming.
