EXECUTIVE DISORDER

He's everything I shouldn't want. My boss. Fourteen years older. Emotionally locked down since losing his wife. But when his storm-gray eyes find mine across the boardroom, professional boundaries don't stand a chance. Maya Chen came to Cross Capital for a job, not to fall for Manhattan's most ruthless CEO. Dominic Cross is brilliant, demanding, and completely off-limits. He hasn't let anyone close in fourteen years. Until late nights reviewing merger documents turn into stolen glances. Until professional respect becomes something dangerously more. One kiss changes everything. But loving your boss in a billion-dollar corporation comes with consequences. When a vindictive rival threatens to destroy both their careers with allegations of impropriety, Maya faces an impossible choice: a dream job in Hong Kong that offers safety and success, or the emotionally unavailable man who's finally learning to feel again. Dominic built his empire on control. Now he's losing it over the one woman who sees past his walls. When danger targets Maya, his carefully constructed defenses shatter. He'll risk his company, his reputation, and everything he's built to keep her safe. But can a man who's spent fourteen years frozen in grief convince her that he's capable of forever? She chose him over safety. He'll choose her over everything.
