The CEO Who Never Sleeps Alone

Every night, a different woman enters Adrian Vale's penthouse. By morning, she's gone. No woman stays twice. No woman talks. And the billionaire CEO has never cared what the world thinks happens behind his locked doors. Until Maya Bennett becomes the exception. One late night. One forbidden encounter. One glimpse of the man beneath Adrian Vale's ruthless reputation—and suddenly Maya knows something she was never meant to know. She expects him to fire her. Instead, he offers her a contract worth more money than she has ever seen. Her only job? Spend every night with him. No questions. No feelings. And whatever happens after the bedroom door closes stays there. Maya knows she should walk away. She doesn't. But the deeper she enters Adrian's private world, the stranger his rules become—and the more dangerous his secrets feel. Then one night, with Maya beside him, Adrian whispers a woman's name. Evelyn. Maya has never heard of her. Apparently, neither has the rest of the world. Because according to every record Maya can find... Evelyn never existed.
