Kimberley-known as Kim to those closest to her-is a quiet yet brilliant young woman.
Her life revolves around caring for her eight-year-old brother, David, and coping with her father’s relentless work schedule. But on her eighteenth birthday, everything changes. Burglars break into her home, not just to steal, but to claim a secret software her father had created. The heist turns deadly when the intruders kill her father, leaving Kim with no choice but to flee with her brother, escaping from Australia to the chaotic streets of New York City.
In New York, Alexander Diaz reigns as the powerful CEO of Diaz Inc. Known for his fierce temper and imposing presence, he’s not a man who’s easily impressed. Yet, when Kimberley walks into his office seeking a job, something shifts. There’s a spark-her beauty and intelligence captivate him, and he hires her on the spot, vowing to keep her close. She’s different, and Alexander knows he can’t let her go.
But danger isn’t far behind. The same people who took Kimberley’s father are now in New York, hunting her down. With secrets threatening to unravel, will Alexander protect her at all costs, or will they get to her before he uncovers the truth she’s been hiding?
