“"You belong to me, Miss Stanford. Every desk, every file, every corner of this company is mine-and so are you." His voice dropped, dangerously soft, as he stepped closer. His breath brushed against her skin as he gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his piercing gaze. "Why do you always look away? Acting shy, pretending innocence?" he sneered, his voice laced with venom. "You're nothing but a liar-a single mother hiding behind a fragile mask!" Tears threatened to spill as she whispered, "I'm not a single mother, sir." "Then where is he?" he roared. "Where is your husband?!" *** Seven years ago, Seventeen-year-old Evelyn fled her home, leaving behind her controlling mother and the boy she loved-the father of her unborn twins. Her mother's ruthless plan had driven him away, leaving only echoes of their love and shattered dreams. Now, at twenty-four, Evelyn has rebuilt her life. But her new job comes with a tyrannical, cold-hearted boss who seems determined to break her. He owns everything-including her time, her dignity, and, slowly, her heart. But when the truth about her past emerges, it changes everything. Can Evelyn forgive the man who once tormented her when he reveals a love he'd buried for too long? Or will the secrets of their past keep them apart forever?”
