The Deal Between Us

Power can protect you. Love can ruin you.

Julian was born into a political dynasty where ambition is inherited—and winning is nonnegotiable. With a critical election looming, the last thing he needs is a scandal. What he does need is control.

Anna only ever wanted to dance. As a gifted ballerina on the edge of her dreams, politics was never part of the plan—until she became a target for dangerous people she never saw coming. Suddenly, her freedom has a price.

A deal binds them together:
Julian will keep Anna safe.
Anna will play her role until the election is over.

It should have been simple. Temporary. Professional.

But proximity breeds temptation, and lines blur when protection turns personal. As secrets surface and threats close in, Anna discovers that the most dangerous thing in Julian's world isn't his enemies—it's his heart.

He needs power to survive.
She needs freedom to breathe.
Neither expected to fall in love.

When the deal ends, will love be enough… or will it destroy them both?
