kiara Nicole Rivers has spent years building a life entirely on her own terms. Her career is thriving. Her apartment is immaculate. Her future is carefully planned. Every detail is exactly where she wants it to be. Love, however, is one thing she refuses to make room for. After a devastating heartbreak, Kiara has mastered the art of keeping people at a distance. No complications. No vulnerability. No risks. Then someone moves her table at a charity gala. Xavier King is a successful real estate developer from Bed-Stuy who built everything he has from nothing. Patient, perspective, and impossible to ignore, Xavier sees through the walls Kiara has spent years constructing. He notices things others miss, including the fact that someone has been watching her. For Months. As a dangerous ex from her past becomes increasingly obsessed, Kiara finds herself drawn to the one man who refuses to let her face it alone. What begins as professional friction slowly turns into trust, friendship, and a connection neither of them expected. But love has a way of uncovering old wounds. And Xavier is carrying secrets of his own. Secrets that could change everything. With danger closing in and their hearts hanging in the balance, Kiara and Xavier must decide whether the risk of loving again is worth the possibility of losing everything. Because sometimes the hardest part isn't falling in love. It's learning the difference between what merely desired you and what truly loves you.

I’ve already started falling for someone else—an anonymous stranger I trade late-night messages with, sharing lyrics and reliving the bands that shaped us.  He feels safe.  He feels new.  He feels like everything Roderick isn’t. But soon I might need to choose between the stranger who makes me believe again . . . and the boy who once destroyed me.

OLIVIAI thought it was just a consulting job.Walk into Alexander Winter's foundation, audit his charity programs, collect my paycheck. Simple. Professional. Safe.I didn't expect Manhattan's most intimidating billionaire to buy me hot chocolate from a street cart on a freezing December morning. Didn't expect him to look at me like I'm something precious instead of just his temporary consultant. And I definitely didn't expect to want him to keep looking.He's ice in a tailored suit—all sharp edges and dangerous control. I'm warmth in budget clothes, trying not to blush every time his gaze lingers.But when corporate sabotage threatens his Christmas gala, suddenly we're working late nights in his penthouse office. Strategy sessions that feel too intimate. Accidental touches that spark like electricity. And one kiss in an empty conference room that changes absolutely everything.I don't belong in his world of glass towers and charity galas.So why does being with him feel like coming home?ALEXI don't do feelings. Don't do messy. Don't let anyone past the walls I've spent years building.Then Olivia Harper walks into my office with her sharp mind and warmer heart, and every rule I've ever made shatters on impact.She challenges me. Makes me notice things I've ignored, like the hollow echo of my perfectly controlled life. Makes me feel things I swore I'd never need.I want her. In my office. In my bed. In my future.And I don't wait for what I want.When threats target her safety, I pull her closer—forced proximity that ignites into something neither of us can deny. Late nights become stolen moments. Professional boundaries blur into passionate need. And for the first time in my life, I'm completely, terrifyingly out of control.She thinks she doesn't belong in my world.I know she's the only thing that's ever made it feel like home.This Christmas, I'm claiming what's mine.And I don't take no for an answer.Winter King is the first book in The Winter Empire series—standalone romances featuring powerful billionaires who discover that the greatest risk is opening your heart.
