Selene Lancaster has spent years building the perfect life on her own terms. A brilliant mind in the boardroom, a woman with power in her stride, and a name that carries weight in every circle that matters. But control is fragile, and the ghosts of her family’s legacy never stop pulling at the edges of her carefully woven world. Then came Xavier. A man as magnetic as he is dangerous, a presence she can neither silence nor ignore. He calls her Little Bunny, a name that sounds almost tender but behind it lies a predator’s patience, a darkness that watches, waits, and always gets what it wants. Selene knows she should stay away, yet she can’t deny the way his shadow slips into her thoughts, into her pulse, into every moment she tries to keep him out. But Xavier isn’t her only storm. Secrets linger in the Lancaster name schemes, betrayals, and whispered truths that could shatter more than reputations. From the glittering boutiques of the city to the ruthless corridors of power, Selene finds herself caught between duty and desire, between the weight of her bloodline and the fire of a man who refuses to let her go. Every stolen glance. Every unanswered call. Every secret waiting in the dark. The deeper she falls, the more dangerous the game becomes and when the lies begin to unravel, Selene will discover that some obsessions aren’t meant to be escaped. They are meant to consume.
