NO TIES, ONLY LIES: No strings attached. No commitments. No feelings.

That was the deal.

Ava Carter's morning starts with a spilled coffee, a sharp argument with an infuriatingly confident stranger, and the worst first impression of her life.

Hours later, she walks into her dream job... only to discover that the stranger is Ethan Blackwood—the billionaire founder and CEO of Blackwood Creative.

Working together should be simple.

It isn't.

As late nights turn into quiet conversations and professional respect becomes impossible to ignore, the line between business and something far more dangerous begins to blur. They promise themselves there will be no office romance. No distractions. No emotional attachments.

But some promises are easier to make than they are to keep.

When one secret decision shatters Ava's trust, the carefully built walls between them come crashing down. In a world where ambition comes at a price and every choice has consequences, they'll have to decide whether love can survive the weight of betrayal—or whether some lies leave scars that honesty can never erase.
