It Kills Me: Betrayal, Book 1

About this book

Scarlett is poised to inherit her father’s empire, but her promotion comes with a rigid, non-negotiable stipulation: never mix business with pleasure. For years, she has watched her father maintain absolute professional detachment, and she intends to do the same. However, that resolve shatters the moment she meets Axel, a brilliant and notoriously arrogant distributor brought on to navigate the company’s dangerous, high-stakes supply chain. Despite an immediate, scorching attraction, Scarlett attempts to enforce strict boundaries. Axel, however, is a man who refuses to be denied. What begins as a battle of wills quickly spirals into a forbidden, high-voltage affair. As they surrender to their intense chemistry, the stakes grow deadly. If her father uncovers their secret, the consequences are catastrophic: Scarlett will lose her career, and Axel will lose his life. Told with the sharp, dark intensity characteristic of a forbidden romance, this story follows two people playing a lethal game of hide-and-seek. As their professional lives collide with a burgeoning, dangerous love, they must decide if their connection is worth the ultimate sacrifice. Caught in a web of lies and power, Scarlett and Axel find themselves falling into a trap that could destroy them both.
