By Day His Assistant, By Night His Escort
Sienna Vale POV
My boss is an ass wipe.
There’s no nicer way to say it. Adrian Kade is the most arrogant, cold-blooded, control-obsessed man I’ve ever met. He’s rich, powerful, and devastatingly composed—the kind of man who never raises his voice because people bend before he has to. I’ve watched him make executives cry, ruin careers before lunch, and still look like he’s carved from marble while doing it.
He doesn’t like me much, either. Which is fine, because the feeling is mutual.
But I need the job. I need the paycheck. And I need the health insurance, because my brother’s attorney charges by the minute and we’re running out of time. So I get up every morning, make his coffee, run his empire, and tell myself it’s temporary.
Then one night, I took a second job—one that pays cash for silence and doesn’t ask questions. Through an elite escort agency, I sell time, not affection. No names. No attachments. No repeats.
Until I walked into a penthouse suite and found my boss waiting for me.
He didn’t fire me. He didn’t even flinch.
He booked me again.
Now he owns my hours twice over—once on paper, once in private. He’s moved my desk, rewritten my contract, and somehow found a way to make my entire existence revolve around him. He’s buying my time, my obedience, my composure. But what he really wants is my surrender.
And the worst part? I can’t decide if I want to slap him or kiss him.
Because every time he looks at me, I see the man beneath the suit—the one who doesn’t know how to ask for what he wants unless he’s paying for it.
By day, I’m his assistant.
By night, I’m his escape.
And somewhere between power and obsession, we both forgot where the line was.
Now I just have to decide if I can survive him… or if I’m already his.

Excerpt:
“You’re late,” he said.
“You told me to wear a slip dress in January,” I shot back. “I had to thaw out first.”
His mouth curved. “Character building.”
“Idiotic,” I corrected. “Next time, buy me a coat.”
“You’ll still show up.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But you’ll be paying extra for frostbite.”
