I was hired to ghostwrite the truth for the man who ruined me. One NDA. One penthouse key. One rule that sounded like mercy and felt like a dare. Tell the story and leave your heart at the door.
His name is Lucien Draevan. Billionaire CEO. Beautiful problem. Monster or myth, depending on who is paying. He watches the world through glass and calls it strategy. I call it addiction.
I came back to finish the article that cost me everything. Instead, I found myself living inside his biography. Boardrooms that bite. Cameras that hum. A diamond choker I put on for access and take off for myself. We circle each other with questions and consent and a heat that keeps escalating. He does not touch until I say yes. When I do, the city goes quiet.
The deeper I write, the dirtier the secret: a forged packet built to erase me, a red folder named for a scar, and a board that launders power like money. He should be my enemy. He becomes the only person who hands me the truth without asking for a softer version back.
When the raid hits, he signs for their sins. When the story goes live, I sign my name under it. There is no ledger big enough to hold what we owe. There is only the choice to love out loud and let the record keep up.
What you’ll get inside:
✔ Dark billionaire romance. Morally gray hero. Feisty, wounded, truth-obsessed ghostwriter heroine.
✔ Enemies to lovers with forced proximity in a glass-and-steel penthouse. Slow burn that turns high heat.
��� Consent first intimacy. Explicit, steamy scenes written as worship, not conquest.
✔ Romantic suspense with corporate scandal, forged evidence, boardroom betrayal, and a federal takedown.
✔ Redemption and accountability. A love that can be audited and still pass.
✔ Dual POV. Cliff-edges and soft landings. A hard-won HFN that feels like a promise.
