His Desk, Our Secret

Naomi Carter thought her new job at Blackwell Strategic Group would finally give her breathing room a steady paycheck, a way to cut down debt, a shot at standing on her own again. Then she meets her boss. Christopher Blackwell is sharp, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. One look across the glass-walled office, and she feels the current shift.

Christopher built his empire on order and control, never letting anyone close enough to shake it. But Naomi does without trying. Her quiet confidence and quick instincts slide past the walls he’s spent years keeping up.

When Julian Ross, a rival with a polished smile and ruthless streak, makes his move, the tension turns dangerous. He wants Christopher’s company. He wants Naomi too. And he knows how to use both to his advantage.

In a world where every meeting carries double meaning and every deal hides a threat, Naomi finds herself balancing ambition, attraction, and the kind of risk that leaves marks.

Behind closed doors and in boardrooms that echo with whispered alliances, she and Christopher discover their connection can either hold them together or undo everything they’ve built.

Power, desire, betrayal only one question remains: who can they really trust?

This story stands alongside others in EVERY SHADE OF WANT each fierce, raw, and unforgettable.

They carry ambition, scars, secrets and heat. From the glare of studio lights to late nights on empty streets, from quiet towns to glass towers, their worlds never run smooth. When desire strikes between two people built to collide, it digs in deep a craving that refuses to quiet down.

EVERY SHADE OF WANT is a bold collection of steamy romances, telling the unapologetic love lives of unforgettable women and powerful men. These aren’t stories softened for comfort they beat with want, resilience, fire, and connection. A music mogul with trouble in his past. A single mother who finds her strength again. Hometown rivals circling each other until neither can walk away. Each couple brings their own rhythm, heat, and history to the page.

From reckless nights to slow burns, across genres and cities, this series explores every shape desire can take. Some affairs last hours. Some last a lifetime. But they all want more and they’ll chase it.

Because love this raw doesn’t play by the rules. It wants. It takes. It burns. And it never comes in only one shade.
