She built an empire by never letting anyone close enough to see beneath the ice.

Alexandra Kush is a billionaire whose reputation is as carefully curated as every luxury hotel she owns. She is brilliant, untouchable, and always in control. The one lapse in her carefully ordered world, a night with a captivating lesbian card shark who won far more than a bet, was supposed to remain exactly where she left it - in the past.

Now that same woman appears on the annual escort-dating contract her assistant prepares for the season's most exclusive events.

What begins as another business arrangement becomes an impossible negotiation between protection and vulnerability. Because the one woman determined to protect Alexandra's future is also the only one who sees the quiet strength hidden beneath her carefully crafted facade.

For readers who love watching a powerful, emotionally guarded woman choose love, and choose it completely this billionaire romance has slow-burn chemistry, irresistible tension, and women who build empires for change. Their greatest risk isn't losing their fortune. It's risking their heart.
