Sadie Quinn takes a live-in housekeeping job at the mansion of Julian Corsini, one of Boston’s most feared and powerful men, expecting nothing more than a generous paycheck and a way out of debt. Then Julian installs hidden cameras to catch someone stealing strange, worthless objects from his home. Instead, one camera catches Sadie barefoot in his living room, dancing in his oversized white shirt like nobody is watching. By breakfast, Julian has seen everything. What begins with a hidden camera soon pulls Sadie into an old betrayal, a buried family secret—and dangerously close to the one man she was supposed to fear.

Emma Carter has spent three years trying to prove that her missing brother did not murder Angela Romano, the late wife of New York crime boss Don Romano. When Emma spots a rifle aimed at Don during a charity gala, she tackles him and locks down his mansion—trapping the assassin inside with two hundred guests. The evidence left behind carries her brother’s name, forcing Emma into a dangerous alliance with the man who once hunted him. But Don has concealed a betrayal of his own: he hired Emma hoping she would draw her brother out of hiding. As Angela’s silent daughter begins revealing what she witnessed before her mother’s death, Emma and Don uncover a trafficking network operating beneath the Romano family’s legitimate empire. Someone has stolen Don’s command code, turned his own men against him, and marked his daughter as the next target. To save the child and expose the truth, Emma must decide whether she can trust a ruthless man learning to surrender control—and Don must choose between protecting his empire and becoming worthy of the woman who refuses to belong to him.

Ava Morales expected her new job at the Vale estate to involve polished silver, impossible schedules, and a terrifying employer. She did not expect Dominic Vale’s nine-year-old son to sabotage an engagement party with smoke bombs—or to trust her with a box that once belonged to his dead mother. Dominic is a billionaire shipping executive, a feared New York crime boss, and a father who knows how to command an empire but not how to reach his grieving child. When Noah’s grandmother files for emergency guardianship, Dominic offers Ava an outrageous deal: marry him for six months, help him prove that his home is stable, and walk away with one million dollars. But their fake marriage soon exposes a real conspiracy. Noah’s mother left secret recordings linking someone inside the Vale family to stolen charity money, murder, and a plan to seize the boy’s inheritance. As Ava battles Noah’s pranks, challenges Dominic’s control, and gives the broken father and son a way back to each other, the three begin to resemble the family they were only supposed to pretend to be. Now the contract has an expiration date—but the danger surrounding them does not.

Elena Reyes once saved lives as a trauma nurse. Now, stripped of her license and working as an executive housekeeper, she keeps her head down inside the Lake Forest mansion of Declan Cross—a billionaire shipping executive who secretly controls Chicago’s most feared criminal network. But when Elena knocks a poisoned glass from Declan’s hand during a glittering charity gala, she exposes an enemy inside his own household. Declan locks down the estate to protect them both, only to discover that Elena’s late husband left behind evidence connecting the Cross family to murder, stolen ownership, and the death of Elena’s father. Forced into close quarters with a man she has every reason to distrust, Elena must decide whether Declan is her protector, her jailer, or the only person powerful enough to help her reclaim the life his family stole. As attraction grows between them, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: saving Declan’s life may have placed Elena at the center of a war—and made her the rightful owner of part of his empire.
