Declan Maddox is my father's ruthless partner. My billionaire boss. And the demanding protector I never knew I needed.
I'm supposed to be earning my place on merit, keeping my head down as the newest intern at Maddox Capital. No one knows I'm the CFO's daughter. No one knows why I'm really here.
But when a subway disaster makes me hours late delivering a critical hostile-takeover file, I stumble into an exclusive, highly private arrangement in the CEO's midnight office. And before I can confess who I really am, Declan Maddox slips a blindfold over my eyes and locks the door.
By day, Declan is the coldest corporate raider on Wall Street. He dictates the terms of every merger and looks right through me. By night, behind his locked office door, he is a demanding, obsessive force who unravels every fear I've been hiding.
If I speak up, I lose the only man who has ever made me feel safe. If my father finds out, Declan loses the empire he built from the ground up.
I thought I could keep the blindfold on forever.
But Declan Maddox demands total surrender — and he will burn down everything he built to claim the woman who belongs to him.
