Falling for My Runaway Bride

I've been groomed for power my entire life-Duarte Enterprises, arranged alliances, public image, legacy.

Love? That's a liability. I stopped believing in it the day my first love took a payout to disappear from my life.

So when my father schedules yet another engagement to secure political favor, I don't care who she is-I'm ready to reject her.

But then she disappears.

And weeks later, she walks into my office. New name. New story. Same fire I've never been able to look away from.

She thinks I don't know who she is. She thinks I'm the enemy.

And I plan to keep it that way-until I realize I don't just want her working beside me.
I want her. Everywhere. Always. Even if it ruins me.
