Isabelle (Bells) Hann thought she had her life perfectly mapped out: a prestigious job at tech consultancy Larssens Ltd, an engagement to wealthy Theodore Watson, and a future built on safety and respectability. But her carefully constructed world begins to unravel around her predatory boss, Jude Larssen - a man whose brilliant mind and dangerous instincts have kept her orbiting him like a moth to flame for three years.When Jude manipulates a high-stakes dinner with Japanese conglomerate Yamamoto Industries by claiming he and Bells are engaged, their simmering professional tension explodes into something far more volatile. As Bells becomes entangled in Jude's web of corporate machinations, and psychological games, she discovers that the line between manipulation and desire wears thin.
