She never expected to cross paths with someone like Damien Sinclair, the cut-throat billionaire CEO whose name is spoken of in equal parts reverence and scandal. But when a chance encounter at an elite gala ends with Sienna dumping a drink on him, she’s thrust into the world of the ultrawealthy, whether she wants to be or not. But, in a one-seeming twist of fate, Sienna receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: she’ll ghostwrite Damien Sinclair’s memoir. It’s the break she’s been waiting for, but it comes with strings attached — she has to move into his penthouse, live under his watchful eye and write the story of a man who has spent his life concealed behind a curtain of secrets. Damien is commanding and cold and knows exactly how to get under her skin. She fights him at every turn, refusing to submit to his power and dominance.” But the more she discovers about the man behind the ruthless facade, the more she starts to peel back the dark secrets he’s kept buried — and the more she wants him. Damien Sinclair knows power — and he’s not at all unfamiliar with getting what he wants. His empire was forged through the sacrifice of his enemies, and he’s never, not once, given anyone the glimpse of a crack in his armor. But Sienna is unlike the women he knows. She is willful and unafraid, and growing unavoidably attracted to him, even as she pulls out his most difficult, most dangerous truths. When Sienna discovers the devastating scandal that could bring his empire tumbling down, she is faced with a decision: protect his secret and save her career, or expose him and see the empire he’s built — and the man she’s starting to fall for — crumble. But the dividing line between love and hate has never been so indistinct. As the stakes heighten, so does the undeniable pull of attraction between them. The chemistry’s electric, the tension palpable, but when Sienna gets closer to the truth, she starts to realize that trusting him might just be the one thing that costs her everything. A love that might overcome the secrets that could pull them apart? Or will Damien’s history be too great a hurdle for their future to clear? His Ghostwriter is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance sprinkled with danger, high-stakes drama and a heroine unafraid to take on the most powerful man in the room. If you like slow-burn chemistry, billionaire CEOs with dark secrets, and a story full of twists and turns, this is the book for you.

But the reality is, escape is not that easy. You may rename yourself, but you can never whitewash your past. But when Marco Bianchi, the city’s infamous mafia boss, comes back, everything shatters.
