About this ebook

Obsession. Domination. Surrender. Their love is a dangerous dance on the edge of destruction.


Jessica Scott, a 25-year-old Ph.D. student, thought her life had taken a promising turn when she accepted the offer to work for Max McGuire, the enigmatic CEO of McGuire Steel Corporation. Facing eviction and unemployment, she was swept into a world she didn’t expect, captivated by Max’s piercing gaze and unsettling questions during their interview.


Her dream job as a surrogate for a billionaire CEO quickly spiraled into a nightmare when she discovered a shocking secret hidden in his closet. Entangled in a web of lies, she found herself asking one burning question: Could she trust the man who expected her to carry his heir?


Exhausted and desperate, she missed the fine print in her job description and unknowingly stepped into a far more intimate role than she had imagined. She wasn’t hired as Max’s administrative assistant—she was hired as his surrogate. And to complicate matters further, she was still a virgin.


Her new reality became even more perplexing during a tour of Max’s opulent home, where she stumbled upon a closet filled with designer women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. The discovery left her questioning everything. Was there another woman in Max’s life? Or was there something about him she couldn’t yet understand? All she got in response was his cryptic smile and the unsettling words, “You’ve discovered my little secret.”


Caught in a whirlwind of deception and attraction, Jessica’s world began to unravel. Every step forward revealed another surprise, and with each encounter, the tension between her and Max only grew stronger. Nothing was as it seemed, and the closer she got to uncovering the truth, the deeper she fell into his irresistible pull.

DNF 20%Comments made in earlier chapters are then contradicted later. Happened multiple times and was confusing. **SPOILERS** OW drama Contradictions; Jessica:"Max why does the (surrogacy) the contract stipulate getting approval from Sophia? I thought she was just your business partner..." Max:"Well Jessica Sophia is my business partner in my new fashion business but she plays another important role in my life. She is my wife." Jessica:"If you're getting divorced why is Sophia still involved in the fashion business? I take it that the two of you are going to remain "great friends" Max: "The reason Sophia is involved in the fashion business is because I want Sophia involved.." "What do you mean when you say you feel like you're competing with Sophia? She has nothing to do with the surrogacy agreement." "Jes you don't have to tell me to break off my friendship with Sophia. I had already planned on doing so. I did think it was a little much for her to be involved in the fashion business."

I got to chapter 8 and couldn't get on with the story. The character build is very bad. By chapter 8, the characters still have not discussed anything important in the contract that is the basis of the story.
