He’s the billionaire bad boy everyone wants—and the one man you should never fall for. Adrian Kingston has it all: money, power, looks, tattoos, and a reputation that follows him into every room. Women come and go, and he’s never cared enough to make any of them stay. Then you walk into Kingston Enterprises on your first day as a twenty-year-old intern. You don’t care about his name. You don’t fall for his charm. And you definitely don’t trust the rumors surrounding him. Unfortunately for you, Adrian notices. What starts as curiosity quickly becomes an obsession neither of you can ignore. But between his notorious past, your position at his company, his controlling family, a jealous ex determined to ruin you, and an attraction that could cost you the career you’ve worked for, falling for Adrian isn’t just complicated. It’s dangerous. Because the city knows Adrian Kingston as a man who never belongs to anyone. And now he wants to belong to you.
She never expected a night at an Atlanta strip club to introduce her to the man who would change everything. Alton Gere is everything she never knew she needed—six-foot-five, impossibly wealthy, devastatingly handsome, and surprisingly gentle. A billionaire NFL star with Southern manners and a heart that still remembers what it means to struggle, Alton doesn’t try to buy her attention. He simply pays attention. He listens. He remembers.

He wants her, but he doesn’t know how to love her without trying to control her. And when he realizes another man is giving her the peace he never could, Adrian refuses to let her go quietly.
