⭐️ 4/5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cleo and Ramsey
"Because I'm tired of lying. I've spent my whole life playing games, doing whatever it took to survive in my family. And I'm good at it. Too good. But with you… I don't want to do that with you."

Rough and disturbing, Ramsey Ashwood is the unwanted spare in the Ashwood dynasty. In a town the Ashwoods own outright, there’s nothing they haven’t influenced, tainted, or taken just because they can. Now that their golden son has vanished with the love of his life, Ramsey is being dragged into the family’s dirtiest enterprises—forced into a role he never wanted by a father who’s always seen him as barely useful, certainly not fit to wear the Ashwood crown.
Cleo is determined to write the story that will make her famous. Well at least get her a job. To do it, she’s willing to scheme, fabricate the truth a little bit, and dig until she uncovers the secrets the Ashwoods are hiding behind big business board meetings—a truth darker than the town whispers ever hinted. Getting close to Ramsey Ashwood is supposed to be just a job, a means to an end, a way to expose his family’s corrupt empire. Falling for him was never part of the plan.
Drawn to the dangerous man behind the Ashwood name, Cleo finds herself entangled in a web of secrets, lies, and illicit deals. Ramsey is her best source and her worst mistake—an insidious temptation that pulls her deeper into his world even as her exposé threatens to destroy him.
Get ready to plunge into the deep end. There’s no life preserver here—only a ruthless family, a town built on their power, and a consuming attraction that might drown them both.
