He was sent to destroy the Vance family. Instead, he slept with its CEO. Darien is the forgotten son of Hale Capital, desperate to save his mother and claim his place. Emmett Vance is the cold, powerful heir of the enemy empire—until one drunk night cracks him open. They meet again across an interview table. Neither can forget. Neither can stop. Darien is lying about everything. Emmett is hiding a war of his own. And the truth about his parents’ deaths is about to tear both families apart. When the board turns, the traps close, and the blood debts come due—will Darien choose the mission or the man? Can Emmett forgive the spy who stole his heart? Or will their families destroy them before they can choose each other?
