Alicia Bennett’s world is falling apart. Losing her job means losing her apartment, her independence, and the life she’s worked so hard to build. Desperate for a lifeline, she accepts a position she would normally turn down—working as a live-in tutor for the daughter of a wealthy CEO. It’s steady pay, a safe place to stay, and the chance to get back on her feet. But nothing could prepare her for the man who opens the door.

Gabriel Frank is powerful, magnetic, and impossibly wealthy. As the head of a global shipping empire, his life is built on order and control. Yet when Alicia enters his home, her intelligence and quiet strength shake the foundation of his carefully guarded world. The attraction between them is undeniable—but the line between employer and employee is a dangerous one to cross.

Just as Alicia begins to believe she might risk it all for Gabriel, another man enters her life—a free-spirited adventurer with charm, passion, and a dangerous allure. Caught between two very different men, Alicia must decide where her heart truly belongs.

Will she choose stability and forbidden desire, or the thrill of reckless passion?
