Keeping His Enemy Close

When ruthless billionaire Nico Galletti acquires Ashley Woodward's beloved start-up, she assumes it's just business—but the cold fury in his eyes tells a very different story.

Ashley can't explain the electric pull she feels toward the merciless man dismantling everything she's built. Her amnesia has erased years of memories, leaving her with nothing but instinct—and every instinct says Nico is dangerous. She's right, but not in the way she imagines.

Nico remembers everything. He remembers the woman who walked away while he rotted in a prison cell for a crime he didn't commit. He remembers the promises she made and the silence that followed. Now Ashley stands before him, wide-eyed and innocent, acting as though they're strangers—and that performance only sharpens his hunger for revenge. His plan is elegant in its cruelty: make her fall completely, irrevocably in love with him, then destroy her the way she destroyed him.

Keeping his enemy close proves far more complicated than Nico anticipated. Because somewhere between boardroom power plays and stolen moments that blur every professional boundary, the lines between revenge and desire stop making sense. Ashley is falling—but so is he, and that was never part of the plan.

In this scorching workplace romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Kate Hewitt, the most dangerous game isn't corporate warfare. It's the battle neither of them can afford to lose—the one happening in their hearts.
