What's wrong with my secretary?

He was the CEO everyone feared. She was the secretary who refused to be intimidated. Neither expected the other to become impossible to forget. When Ayanda Bennett walks into the towering headquarters of Veyronis Technologies, she expects her new position as executive secretary to be the beginning of a promising career. She is prepared for demanding schedules, endless meetings, impossible deadlines, and the notoriously difficult man occupying the corner office. What she isn't prepared for is Adrian Vale. Brilliant, wealthy, fiercely private, and accustomed to getting exactly what he wants, Adrian has earned a reputation for being ruthless in the corporate world. His previous secretaries rarely survive the position for more than a few months. Ayanda, however, is different. She doesn't flatter him. She doesn't fear him. And, much to his frustration, she isn't afraid to tell him when he's wrong. Their constant clashes soon become the subject of whispered conversations throughout the company. But beneath the arguments and professional tension lies something neither of them is willing to acknowledge. Then Ayanda discovers something she was never supposed to see. Someone inside Veyronis is leaking confidential information—and the evidence points dangerously close to Adrian's inner circle. Suddenly, the job she thought would launch her career becomes a maze of secrets, deception, ambition, and betrayal. And Adrian begins questioning the one person he thought he could trust. Her. As the walls between employer and employee begin to crumble, Ayanda finds herself drawn into a world where nothing is quite what it seems. Every revelation brings them closer to the truth—and every truth threatens to tear them further apart. Because falling for Adrian Vale was never part of her plan. Trusting him might be even more dangerous. And when the biggest secret inside Veyronis finally comes to light, Ayanda will have to decide whether some truths are worth destroying everything for. In a world where loyalty has a price and ambition can become a weapon, two people who were never supposed to fall for each other must discover whether love can survive the secrets standing between them. Sometimes the person who irritates you the most is the person who changes your entire life. And sometimes… the biggest mistake you make is becoming indispensable to the person who never intended to need you.
