A Calculated Obsession

When forensic accountant Daisy Bellamy pulls a thread in a corporate audit, she unravels something far more dangerous than fraud.

The money trail leads to Lucien Ashworth - a man whose name appears on no board, whose influence silences inconvenient questions, and who has made it abundantly clear that being seen by her was never part of his calculated world.

Now Daisy has been catalogued, invited to his ancestral estate, and caught between walking away and discovering exactly how deep his secrets go.

Lucien built his empire on control. Old money, careful alliances, and the particular sort of loyalty that cannot be bought have kept him untouchable for years.

But Daisy refuses to be impressed.

She refuses to be frightened.

And for the first time, Lucien cannot predict her next move.

His interest sharpens into pursuit. Her discoveries force her closer. And their professional collision becomes something far more dangerous - a private war conducted in country houses and town cars, where neither of them can tell where the investigation ends and the obsession begins.

As suspicion becomes desire and desire becomes something neither of them planned, Daisy must decide how far she's willing to follow the truth when every new discovery leads back to Lucien.

And Lucien must choose between the control that has protected him his entire life and the one woman he cannot command, calculate, or forget.

Because Daisy has built her career on one certainty: numbers don't lie.
Men do.
