EXCERPT 1

She ran from a life of control. He's her billionaire boss. His voice alone makes her question everything.

EXCERPT 3

You accidentally emailed your entire company confessing your crush on your billionaire boss. This is his response.

Cal took one leisurely step inside my office, touched the edge of the door, and closed it. Its gentle snick was as loud as a gunshot in my ears. Then, with a casual flick of his fingers, Cal threw the lock.

What happens behind closed doors? Find out now!

EXCERPT 4

He's the dominant, unyielding billionaire. He never shows weakness. Until her. And this confession.

I don’t—I don’t let people in, Deena. Haven’t since I was six years old”—I swallowed—“when I caused my little sister’s death.

Characters

Callum Frost

Callum Frost

Male Lead, Billionaire Boss

Tall and broad with dark, slightly tousled curling hair. His chiseled features include a strong jaw, long nose, and full lips. His remarkable eyes are the eerie, pale blue of dense snow, though they can be full of heat, humor, or dark with desire (pupils so wide his eyes look black). He has beautiful hands with long fingers and broad palms. He often fills out crisp white shirts and perfectly tailored pants or tuxedos, but can appear slightly undone with mussy hair and the top two buttons of his shirt undone. His muscles are stark and hard.

"A Grade-A control freak and micromanager who owns a venture capital firm, he's intense and demanding, but hides a deep-seated fear of failure from a past trauma. He's possessively drawn to Deena's defiance, finding her competence intoxicating, yet struggles with expressing emotions. He's protective of his family, especially his niece Lila and sister Erica, and an amazing cook."

Deena Brand

Deena Brand

Female Lead, Independent Travel Coordinator

Her hair is a wild riot in shades of brown and blond, often half-tamed into a bun at the crown of her head with tendrils framing her face, or styled in soft waves or a smooth, low bun. She has big brown eyes and pink, lush lips. Her skin reddens easily, indicating blushing, with heat smarting across her cheeks, a flushed face, neck, and chest, or spots of red blooming on the apples of her cheeks. She has a slim build. She wears a single very expensive suit (white shirt under a blazer with soft wool pants) for professional settings, but also wide-legged forest green pants with a black turtleneck, a wool trench coat, and gold-plated filigree earrings. At her parents' anniversary party, she wears a baby pink satin dress with a scooped neckline, boned structured top, crystal-encrusted overskirt, a pink bow at the waist, and ridiculously high pink satin open-toed stilettos. Later, she is seen in a burgundy blouse and wide-leg pants with satin burgundy pumps. She also appears with scrubbed-off makeup.

"A fiercely independent and highly competent travel coordinator running her own business, she's deep in debt and distrusts entitled rich men. She actively resists Callum's attempts to control her, but secretly harbors a powerful, dangerous attraction to him that awakens a hidden desire for submission and praise, making her feel both alive and terrified. She struggles with self-loathing for these desires, seeing them as a betrayal of her hard-won independence from a repressive childhood."

Erica

Erica

Callum's Sister, Lila's Mother

Initially, she is too thin, with slumped shoulders, her face lined with exhaustion, and her fingers touching the edge of a head scarf due to hair loss from chemotherapy. Later, her hair grows back as a fuzzy, half-inch halo all around her head. She has bright blue eyes and a wide, bright, soft smile.

"Callum's sister and Lila's mother, she battles breast cancer but is now in remission. She is perceptive, supportive of Deena, and often challenges Callum's controlling tendencies, understanding his motivations better than anyone. She worries about Lila's future and relies on Callum for support."

Lila

Lila

Callum's Niece

A small head with blond hair tied in two French braids with blue bows. Her tongue sticks out when concentrating. She has a gap in her front teeth and little eyelashes. She is described as having a tiny little body with all the attitude of a teenager.

"Callum's five-year-old niece, Erica's daughter. She is small, vulnerable, innocent, and energetic. She loves pancakes, dotes on her 'Uncle Cal', and is excited about becoming a big sister."

Deena's Mother (Maryanne Brand)

Deena's Mother (Maryanne Brand)

Antagonist, Traditional Parent

Her hair is perfectly set. She wears pale yellow pants matched with a crisp white sleeveless shirt, or a floral dressing gown with her hair and makeup perfectly done. She plants her hands on her hips, often tsk-tsks or rolls her eyes, and can have big eyes when feigning innocence, with eyebrows arched high when judgmental. She blushes when complimented and beams when pleased.

"A traditional, manipulative, and critical woman who embodies the societal expectations Deena ran from. She is overtly proud of her son, Brooks, and constantly criticizes Deena's appearance and life choices, pushing her to marry and have children, especially with a wealthy man. She is impressed by Callum's venture capital wealth."

Deena's Father (Beau)

Deena's Father (Beau)

Distant Parent

He is balding, with the spotted skin of his scalp showing through the white hairs he still has, looking old. He sits behind a chunky dark mahogany desk and is typically stone-faced and closed off, but his face can light with a smile or he can purse his lips and nod.

"A distant and neglectful parent who embodies traditional values. He is more engaged with his son, Brooks, and expresses pride in his grandson, a sentiment Deena rarely received. He shows superficial affection for Deena, tied to her conformity to his expectations, and only shows genuine pride in her accomplishments when validated by Callum."

Austin

Austin

Ex-Boyfriend

He has turned into a broad, handsome man. His hair is still that middle shade between brown and blond, styled in a tight fade with well-groomed stubble. He fills out his tux and is seen holding a glass of liquor.

"Deena's high school sweetheart, whom her mother hoped she would marry. He is traditional and controlling, having expected Deena to be a stay-at-home wife. He has started his own law practice and is now wealthy, still interested in Deena, but objectifies her."

Luke

Luke

Deena & Cal's Son

He has chubby little arms, baby-soft limbs, and riotous curls. He is noted to have Cal’s eyes.

"Deena and Cal's first child, a son, born prematurely due to Deena's pre-eclampsia."

Gracie

Gracie

Deena & Cal's Daughter

She is a wild child four-year-old whose eyes twinkled. She is described as the spitting image of her mother.

"Deena and Cal's second child, a daughter, named after Cal's deceased sister. She is a wild and energetic child."

Bella

Bella

Deena & Cal's Youngest Daughter

She is described as a wriggling mass of baby-soft limbs and riotous curls.

"Deena and Cal's youngest child, a daughter."
