Power. Control. Discipline.

Peter Alexander built his empire on these principles, becoming the second wealthiest man in the world. Cold, ruthless, and dangerously untouchable, he has no patience for weakness—especially not the kind that comes from desire.

Then she walks into his life.

Naarah, a breathtaking beauty with an innocent heart, unknowingly steps into Peter’s world when she interrupts a high-stakes business meeting, challenging him in front of his board. Bold, unaware of the dangers surrounding her, she defies him without hesitation. And for the first time in years, Peter feels something stir—something dangerous, something forbidden.

But he’s not the only one who notices her.

His greatest rival, the world’s richest and most merciless man, sets his sights on Naarah, mistaking lust for love and believing she belongs to him. Deception, manipulation, and a deadly obsession pull her deeper into a world she doesn’t understand. And when she begins to mistake her confusion for feelings toward the wrong man, the stakes rise even higher.

Peter watches, his patience wearing thin, his control slipping. She should fear him—he’s a man who takes what he wants. Yet, she challenges him at every turn, awakening a hunger he can no longer ignore.

But when his rival crosses the line, threatening to steal everything, Peter will stop at nothing to protect the woman he can no longer deny belongs to him.

In a battle of power, passion, and possession, can Naarah resist the dark allure of the billionaire who wants to claim her? And when desire turns to something deeper, will Peter allow himself to surrender to the only thing he’s ever feared—love?

Taming the Billionaire’s Desire

Naarah left Peter's penthouse feeling like she had barely escaped with her sanity.

Everything about that man was dangerous—his presence, his words, the way he looked at her like he was unraveling her piece by piece. She had never felt so exposed, so completely at someone's mercy, and the worst part was… a small part of her liked it.

She shook her head, trying to push the thought away as she stepped into the cool night air.

Peter was a storm, unpredictable and consuming. If she let herself get too close, she'd be swept away, and she didn't trust herself to survive it.

As she walked down the street, she pulled out her phone and dialed her best friend, Elena.

"Tell me you're free," Naarah said as soon as Elena picked up.

"Rough day?" Elena asked knowingly.

Naarah groaned. "I don't even know what this is. He's… frustrating."

Elena laughed. "Frustrating or irresistible?"

Naarah sighed. "It's not that late—"

"Good. And while you do, let's talk about why this man has you all flustered."

"You're calling me at nearly midnight after spending time with him. Honey, you're flustered."

She hailed a cab and slid inside, giving her address to the driver.

As the car started moving, her phone vibrated with a message.

Why did he always manage to get under her skin?

Instead of responding, she locked her phone and leaned back against the seat, staring out at the passing city lights.

Because if she wasn't, she wasn't sure she'd be able to stop herself from falling into Peter's grasp.

And something told her… once he had her, he wouldn't ever let go.
