In love with my Father's best Friend

She never planned to fall in love—not during a business trip, and certainly not with Marcus Hale, her billionaire father’s best friend. At twenty, Ivy is smart, driven, and desperate to prove herself. When her emotionally distant father asks her to attend a high-profile international conference on his behalf, Ivy sees an opportunity to step out of his shadow.



She didn’t expect Marcus.



Charming, powerful, and nearly twice her age, Marcus has always been off-limits. Loyal to her father, he’s known Ivy since she was a girl. But somewhere between boardrooms, late-night dinners, and the private jet that brought them there, something changes. A glance lingers. A touch burns. And every unspoken rule begins to crack.



Now, caught between desire and duty, Ivy and Marcus must decide: Is this just a reckless fling—or the kind of love that’s worth risking everything for?
