The Love of IMPERATRIX

BOOK ONE IN QUESTIONABLE SERIES! He’s the last man she’d ever fake date. She’s the chaos his control was never built to survive. Danica Clarke doesn’t play by anyone’s rules but her own. She’s a storm in stilettos: flawless, ferocious, and utterly untouchable. A woman who eats boardroom sharks for breakfast and signs multimillion-dollar deals before her morning espresso cools. She built her empire on blood, grit, and brilliance. Love? To her, it’s for the weak-hearted and the dream-drunk, not for women with empires to build. Alfred Brown is Danica’s living contradiction. Infuriatingly charming, disarmingly kind, with a smile capable of thawing the ice in her veins and a soul so golden it borders on blinding. He is everything she mocks and everything she secretly aches for. A romantic in a world of cynics. A whisper of poetry against her hard-edged pragmatism. When a fake-dating scheme throws them together, sparks don’t just fly, they ignite. Every glance becomes a provocation, every touch a challenge, and every deception sold to the world feeds a truth neither can outrun. Heat builds, tension breaks, and the distance between wanting and needing collapses. Because sometimes, the last person you’d ever fall for…is the one who makes you fall the hardest.
