I never planned to fall for the untouchable billionaire CFO I was sent to ruin. My name is Nova Serrano, and I was the pretty lie in a velvet dress. The job was simple on paper: wear the ring-cam, trap the target, save my brother. Then Soren Hale looked at me like a ledger he wanted to make honest and laid out rules that felt like oxygen. No alcohol during ops. No hidden recordings. No touching without an explicit yes. He kept every one.
Together we turn a black-tie gala into a heist, flip a dirty ‘charity’ empire, and take the fight to Pier 9 while cameras hunt for proof. He is protective, not possessive. He reads numbers like confessions. I sell the almost and choose the truth. If I slip, Hargrave wins. If we aim right, my brother breathes and we both get something I never thought I could want: ordinary. 🖤💍⚓️
This is a dark mafia billionaire romance with romantic suspense, a slow burn that respects boundaries, and a consent-first heat that belongs to us. It is dual POV and standalone with a guaranteed HEA. We burn the kompromat economy, build a survivor-led fund, and learn that patience is not passive. It is aim. 💼🔥
