Zariah Monroe has never allowed money, status, or intimidation to influence her work. As an acclaimed interior architect, she's built her career on trusting her instincts, and the moment she steps inside billionaire Obsidian "Oba" Adeyemi's estate, every instinct tells her to walk away.
Oba isn't simply wealthy—he's powerful, enigmatic, and accustomed to controlling every room he enters. Used to unquestioned obedience, he isn't prepared for the brilliant, outspoken designer who refuses to bow to him. Their professional relationship begins with friction, sharp exchanges, and a battle of wills, but beneath every confrontation simmers an attraction neither can deny.
Fresh from the end of a relationship that challenged her faith and convictions, Zariah has no intention of falling for a man whose world is shrouded in secrecy. Yet the more time she spends with Oba, the more she discovers glimpses of the man hidden beneath his hardened exterior—a man capable of tenderness, loyalty, and a depth of emotion few have ever been allowed to see.
But loving Oba means stepping into a life where power comes with dangerous consequences... and where the secrets he's spent years protecting could cost them both everything.
Will Zariah's unwavering faith and compassionate heart be enough to reach the man everyone else fears? Or will the darkness surrounding Oba prove stronger than the love neither of them saw coming?
