BLURB

When Georgia’s engagement to the unfaithful heir, Jaime Dashton, shatters in a public scandal, she expects to walk away. Instead, she finds herself drawn into the orbit of the one man Jaime fears most: his uncle, Nikolaj.

​Nikolaj is the family’s "Alpha"—cold, calculating, and strictly off-limits. But as corporate secrets and family obsessions collide, the professional lines blur into a dangerous attraction.

​Trapped between a man who won't let her go and a man who shouldn't want her, Georgia must navigate a labyrinth of jealousy and hidden truths. In the house of Dashton, loyalty is a lie, and the only thing more dangerous than losing is falling for the man who owns the throne.

​I couldn't ignore the sharp, stinging sensation in my chest as I watched them. For a split second, my mind played a cruel trick on me, swapping that girl's face with my own, imagining Jaime and I still overflowing with love. I desperately wanted to look away, but I was paralyzed, my eyes glued to the sight.


​Even though my love for him had curdled into hatred, seeing him like that still felt like a physical blow.


​It made me wonder if I had ever truly been special to him, or if I was just another body—a placeholder he used whenever he needed someone to fill a void. Those lips that used to whisper to me were now pressed against someone else. The realization made everything we'd ever shared feel tainted.


​If our moments were fake, if his feelings were just a long-term performance... the thought was too much to bear.
