Intrigued

I came to the Blackstone estate with one mission: expose the family’s dark secrets. I didn’t expect to fall for the man who vowed to destroy me if I did.


From the moment I stepped through those doors, I felt the weight of it all. The cold stares. The whispers echoing down the marble halls. The suffocating privilege of a world I didn’t belong in.


And then, there was him.


Jasper Blackstone. My college roommate’s older brother. A ruthless billionaire with a reputation for being untouchable, commanding, and completely off-limits. He made it clear from the very beginning that I was an outsider. An intruder. A threat.


He wasn't wrong.


I shouldn’t want him, because one wrong move and he’ll ruin my life. He shouldn’t want me, because the truth I’m digging for will burn his empire to the ground.


But one look sparked something reckless. And one impulsive night was all it took to shatter every boundary between us. What started as a dangerous game between enemies has ignited into a dark, consuming obsession—one built on lies, betrayal, and a desire so intense it threatens to scorch us both.


If you had the power to destroy the only person you’ve ever wanted, would you pull the trigger?


I’m about to find out.
