The Heiress Doesn't Blink

She spent eighteen months learning never to show fear. Then her father hired a man who could see right through her.

Odette Vale has perfected the art of appearing untouchable.

As the heiress to a powerful family empire, she's elegant, controlled, and impossible to read. Every smile is calculated. Every emotion carefully concealed.

But behind her flawless public image lies a dangerous secret.

Someone has been using her family's wealth to conceal a criminal operation.

And Odette may be closer to the truth than she realizes.

Then Dominic Rook enters her life.

A former military intelligence interrogator, Dominic has been hired as a private security consultant to evaluate Odette's mental fitness.

His real assignment is far more disturbing.

He has been paid to break through her emotional defenses.

Dominic knows how to read every involuntary reaction, every hesitation, every carefully hidden sign of fear.

But the longer he studies Odette, the more he suspects she's not the fragile heiress her father wants everyone to believe.

She's a woman fighting to survive a dangerous family.

And the man hired to destroy her defenses may be the only person capable of protecting her.

As they uncover forged paintings, coded transactions, and a betrayal buried deep within the Vale empire, their growing attraction becomes another risk neither can afford.

Odette has spent years hiding what she feels.

Dominic was hired to make her reveal everything.

Neither expected the truth to change them both.
