Stella SullivanBright. Selfless. Faithful. That day, entering the meeting room, I could not even think that my life would completely change. It was supposed to be a business proposal, a chance to help Hurst & McCoy salvage the image of one of its product lines that would catapult my career into the air. At first glance, everything seemed so simple... but one look at Maxwell McCoy made me lose my composure. He turned out to be a demanding, charming and influential man, beautiful internally and externally. And no matter how hard I resisted this attraction, it broke my defenses. I know he's hiding something. But even though secrets, lies and greed threaten to destroy everything I've worked so hard for, I won't quit. There is no doubt that as soon as our eyes met, I became his. Maxwell McCoyRich. Successful. Powerful. Many see me only as the president of Hurst & McCoy, a ruthless businessman whose mere presence demands respect. However, no one realizes that I traded my life in order to protect the inheritance and save my father's reputation. When a real threat loomed over the future of my company, I had to ask for help. The day Stella Sullivan walked into the boardroom, my heart began to beat again. Just one business proposal from an extraordinary woman with amber eyes changed my entire life. She tried to deny our irresistible attraction to each other, I did not. I should have let her go, but I couldn't. The smokescreen I created would soon clear, and then I would have to start fighting for everything that was so dear to me.18+
