Deadly Affair

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Six months. That’s all she had to survive. Elena Hart’s plan was simple: endure six months as Kyren Montclair’s temporary secretary and walk away unscathed. But working for the notoriously grumpy and dangerously handsome magnetic billionaire isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Fetching his coffee and juggling his impossible schedule is the easy part—ignoring the fire in his gaze and the secrets he hides is where the challenge begins. Kyren Montclair has rules, boundaries, and a darkness that keeps others at arm’s length. Elena was supposed to be just another employee. But her warmth melts through his defenses, her smile a temptation he can’t resist, and when his enemies set their sights on her, she becomes the one thing he swore he’d never have—a weakness. As danger closes in and secrets unravel, Kyren will stop at nothing to protect her, even if it means breaking every rule he’s lived by.

Blurb

Kyren.

She was never supposed to be mine.

Lena Hart was just another employee, one of the thousands working beneath me at Montclair Holdings. She should have stayed in her department, far from my reach.

She was supposed to be temporary, filling in for my assistant, following my orders, and staying the hell out of my way. I don’t do distractions. I don’t have patience for them, especially not ones wrapped in soft curves and defiant eyes.

But from the moment she stepped into my office, I knew six months wouldn’t be enough.

She’s too tempting. Too damn pure for a man like me. She doesn’t know who I really am or what I’m capable of. She doesn’t belong in my world.

But that won’t stop me from keeping her.

She thinks she’s here for only six months.

She’s wrong.

I decided she was mine from the moment she walked through my door.

Lena.

He’s my boss. My nightmare. My forbidden temptation.

Landing a job at Montclair Holdings was supposed to be a dream, until I got assigned as Kyren Montclair’s assistant. The man is impossible. Cold. Infuriatingly demanding. He barely speaks, but when he does, his voice alone sends shivers down my spine.

I tell myself I can handle it. It’s only for six months.

But Kyren watches me like he sees something I don’t. His presence suffocates me. His attention pins me in place. And when he touches me, just a brush of his fingers against mine, I swear I forget how to breathe.

Everyone warns me to stay away. They say he’s ruthless. Dangerous. A man with too many secrets.

They have no idea.

Because when I finally see the man behind the mask, when I uncover the secrets no one dares to, it’s already too late.

I should run. I should fight.

But the problem is… I want him to catch me.

My Blacksmith Savior

Farial-Jap-Girl: なんて素敵で、予想もしなかった読書体験なんでしょう! これは間違いなく、ありきたりな恋愛小説ではありません。むしろ、そうじゃないことに感謝したいくらいです。登場人物たちがとてもリアルに感じられるんです。欠点があって、複雑で、情熱的で、人間らしい「白か黒かでは割り切れない」魅力的なグレーの部分に満ちています。怒りや支配、愛、そして怒りの赤い霧に飲み込まれそうになったときに、別の道を選ぶ可能性を描いているところも、とても好きでした。でも正直、一番の驚きは、この本がとにかく楽しく読めたこと! 作者はヒロインの声を見事に描き出していて、私はすっかり別の時代、別の場所へ連れ去られたような気分になりました...
