He Demanded My Perfection. I Became His Only Flaw.

Kaelen Shaw is a survivor. He escaped his past and built a new life in New York City, pouring his soul into his work as a brilliant designer. His carefully constructed world is one of control and quiet, creative order. The only rule? Never let anyone get close enough to see the cracks.

But he never accounted for Winston Caldwell.

Ruthless, powerful, and a genius in his own right, Winston is the CEO of the most prestigious agency in the country. He is a man who sees the world as a design to be perfected, and he never tolerates flaws. In Kaelen, he sees a raw, untamed fire that he’s determined to unleash, pushing him to the edge of his talent and his sanity.

Winston’s obsession becomes Kaelen’s new cage, his intense, controlling nature a terrifying echo of the monster he ran from.

As the line between boss and obsession blurs into something dangerous and intoxicating, a ghost from Kaelen’s past returns, threatening to destroy everything he has built. Soon, Kaelen and Winston are caught in a brutal war on two fronts, facing down a manipulative ex and a powerful, ruthless father who sees love as a liability to be liquidated.

When the man who wants to control you is the only one who can protect you, surrender is not a choice. It’s a weapon.
