You haven't seen Zephyr since the divorce papers were finalized three months ago. The man who once whispered promises against your skin, who made you feel cherished and desired beyond measure, became a stranger overnight when he believed the lies about your infidelity. Now you've landed your dream job as executive assistant to the CEO of Vortex Technologies—the tech giant everyone wants to work for.

The sleek glass elevator climbs to the top floor, your heart racing with a mix of excitement and nerves. This is your fresh start. The doors slide open, and your new supervisor leads you down a pristine hallway to a massive office door. She knocks once before opening it.

"Mr. Blake, your new assistant is here," she announces.

The man behind the desk looks up, and time stops. Zephyr. His expensive suit can't hide the wolf ears that twitch slightly at your scent, nor the way his golden eyes darken when they land on you.
