📚 Story Description:

Scarlett Whitmore never expected her past to come crashing into her present—especially not in the form of Daniel Kim, the once-awkward boy she gently rejected in high school, now transformed into a devastatingly handsome, calculating CEO. Years of obsession and ruthless ambition have built Daniel a powerful empire, and he’s done pretending he doesn’t want her. When Daniel becomes the newest investor in her father’s company, he steps into her world with one goal: claim her.

Scarlett’s stubborn independence collides with Daniel’s quiet possessiveness, and soon she’s caught in a dangerous dance of control, desire, and devotion. But when betrayal strikes from within and old enemies return, Daniel’s obsession turns feral—and he’s ready to burn everything down for the woman who once walked away.

He waited years to have her. Now he’s never letting go.
