One Night With The Ruthless CEO
“One night. One mistake. One man who refuses to let her forget it. Caitlin Knight was once the girl who had everything-a wealthy father, a future in design, and a secret crush on the quiet boy in the back of calculus class. Ten years later, she is broke, invisible, and drowning in her mother's medical bills. When she shows up to a charity gala wearing a three-year-old Zara dress, she expects pity. She doesn't expect Isaac Harrell. The boy who once sat three rows behind her is now a billionaire CEO-cold, untouchable, and staring directly at her. He takes her home. She tells herself it's a mistake. He tells her to forget it. But Isaac doesn't forget anything. When Caitlin is forced to deliver a proposal to Zenith Tower, she finds herself standing in his lobby-and he walks past her like she doesn't exist. But when her mother's sanatorium bill maxes out her credit card, and a predatory executive named Donnie Hicks demands she attend a private dinner, Caitlin realizes she is trapped between two men: one who owns the city, and one who wants to own her. But Isaac Harrell has never been good at sharing. A story of survival, secrets, and a love that refuses to stay in the past.”
