The power of Vasilii
285 pages
A high-stakes, high-angst dance of power, trust, and undeniable attraction in the corporate world.
What it feels like
This classic category romance delivers a concentrated dose of high-stakes emotional drama and sizzling tension. The reading experience is brisk and intensely focused on the magnetic, almost combative pull between a cynical billionaire and his desperate, misunderstood assistant. It feels like stepping into a time capsule of vintage romance tropes, where icy boardrooms give way to sultry, breathless encounters and every glance is loaded with suspicion and desire. The prose is unapologetically melodramatic, amplifying the internal turmoil of two people fighting their own vulnerabilities. It is a perfect, indulgent escape for readers who love the delicious friction of a workplace power imbalance, forced proximity, and the satisfying arc of a ruthless alpha male finally surrendering to love.

About the book
"He has the power to protect her--by making her his mistress! Laura Westcotte is the only suitable candidate for the job as Russian tycoon Vasilii Demidov's PA. He may be forced to hire Laura, but Vasilii is far too cynical ever to trust a woman--particularly one with such a dubious reputation... Desperate for work, Laura knows she must impress her cool and complex new boss. However, it's not the chillingly ruthless Russian's legendary reputation that terrifies her, but the magnetic power of her attraction to him! And when Laura realises she's in terrible danger, she finds herself at Vasilii's mercy"--Publisher.
