Scandalous

“I always preferred the broken in fairy tales. The apple always looked shinier when I knew it could destroy me.” Trent Rexroth doesn’t play hero. Cold. Calculated. Controlled. He’s a man of few words — and when he does speak, it’s never for her. Edie Van Der Zee knows better than to crave him. He’s her father’s business partner. A single father. A man who feels nothing and wants even less. But when she takes an internship at his company, she starts to see what lies beneath the silence — the danger, the damage, the desire he hides behind the tailored suits and the biting tongue.

She should stay away. Instead, she’s getting too close. Because Edie has a secret of her own — her father is blackmailing her to destroy Trent from the inside. Every lie, every stolen file, every touch is a betrayal waiting to happen. But the closer she gets, the harder it is to remember who the villain really is. And when the scandal breaks, it won’t just ruin them — It’ll expose how much they were willing to burn for each other.
