Beneath the city lights
“⸻ Beneath the City Lights A Novel of Love, Trust, and Second Chances Elena Carter walked away from high society and corporate scandal to build something of her own. Independent, determined, and done with heartbreak, she vowed never to lose herself in anyone again-especially not a billionaire with a past as dark as the Manhattan skyline. Grayson Maddox doesn't trust anyone. After nearly losing everything to betrayal and public disgrace, he's spent years rebuilding his empire behind cold walls and calculated silence. But when a charity gala threatens to make or break his comeback, he hires the one woman who might just ruin all his carefully laid plans. She's not intimidated by his power. He's not prepared for her honesty. As tension turns to tenderness and business blurs into something deeper, Elena and Grayson must confront their demons and decide if love is worth the risk-especially when the spotlight could burn them both. Can two guarded hearts survive the truth that hides beneath the city lights?”
