Empire of Secrets — A Billionaire Romance Thriller Novel

**Forensic accountant Grace Bennett doesn't blink at fraud. She's never had a reason to blink at love — until Nathaniel Hawthorne.**

When eleven million dollars vanishes from Hawthorne Industries' accounts, billionaire CEO Nate Hawthorne needs someone from outside the company who can't be compromised by internal politics. Grace Bennett is the best forensic accountant in Manhattan — sharp, unflinching, and utterly unprepared for the pull between her and the guarded, magnetic CEO she's been hired to protect.

As Grace's investigation uncovers a conspiracy reaching into Nate's own family — funded by a ruthless private equity shark with a score to settle — the danger stops being theoretical. Anonymous threats. A break-in. A kidnapping that forces Nate to choose between the empire he was born to protect and the woman he's fallen for.
