"I wanted you to ruin me." Alexandra Vega is done playing by the rules. When her ambitious marketing pitch is shredded by Jordan Carter—her ruthless, glacially controlled CEO—she retaliates the only way she knows how: by showing up at his masquerade ball in a dress that screams look at me , and a mask that hides everything but her defiance. Jordan doesn't do distractions. Two years after his wife's death, his only solace is control—until Alex storms into his life, all sharp tongue and sharper heels, daring him to crack. What starts as a power struggle in the boardroom ignites into something far more dangerous: a game of seduction where the stakes are surrender, and the only rule is don't fall . But when the masks come off, neither is prepared for what lies beneath. A scorching enemies-to-lovers romance about power, grief, and the forbidden thrill of losing control.
