Terms and Temptations:The CEO spoils me silly
“She died with betrayal in her chest... and came back with vengeance in her veins. Vivian Emmanuella Davis thought death was the end-until she woke up three years in the past, armed with nothing but a scar and the memory of the night that changed everything. This time, she's not the naive girl easily fooled by fake friends and a ruthless ex. She's fire wrapped in silk, ready to rewrite her fate. Xander Blake-enigmatic, powerful, and dangerously irresistible. One night. No names. No faces. No promises. Until fate brings them back together... not as strangers, but as boss and secretary. When Xander offers her a marriage contract with secrets of his own, the lines between business and desire blur. But in a world full of deception and second chances, Emma must decide: Is she falling for the man... or the trap?”
