He was just a barista. Then he inherited two hundred fifty billion dollars, a private empire, and a target on his back.
Ethan Harlow has survived the first four months of his new life: hostile boards, endless decisions, and the intoxicating weight of absolute power. With Sofia and Emma at his side... now equal partners in love and war... he's learning that running the world's most dangerous fortune means never letting your guard down.
But when a single bullet shatters the dawn and a Vegas deal turns into a blood-soaked ambush, Ethan discovers that some enemies won't stop at boardroom sabotage.
They want him dead.
Surrounded by a growing circle of fierce, brilliant women who refuse to choose between loyalty and desire, Ethan must protect his empire, his family, and the fragile line between survival and surrender.
In a world where love is a weapon, trust is currency, and every sunrise comes with a scope glint... only one question remains:
How much is he willing to bleed to keep what's his?
Intense. Unapologetic. Addictive. The empire strikes back.
