As You Wish

He doesn't believe in wishes. He believes in leverage.

Jafar Rashid has built his life on control. He reads people before they speak, finds the weakness before anyone else sees it, and never makes a move without knowing exactly how it will end.

So when Marcus Perry owes him a debt, Jafar knows precisely what he wants in return.

His daughter.

Jasmine Perry has spent enough of her life being managed by men who think they know what's best for her. The last thing she needs is her father handing her over to the cold, calculating hockey player who watches her like he already knows every move she'll make.

Especially when Jafar makes one thing perfectly clear: This isn't romance. It's strategy.

But living under Jafar's roof means getting dangerously close to the man beneath all that ruthless control. The one who notices everything. Protects without asking. Wants her beside him. And looks increasingly less interested in pretending their arrangement is only business.

Jasmine knows better than to trust a man who treats the world like a chessboard.

Because Jafar has been moving pieces long before she realized they were playing.

And when she discovers just how carefully he engineered her path into his life, she'll have to decide whether the feelings between them were ever truly hers... or whether falling for him was exactly what he planned all along.

He wanted leverage. He chose her. Now the man who controls everything is about to discover what happens when the one thing he can't afford to lose walks away.
