Elena Ruiz has built her life on logic, precision, and firewalls strong enough to stop anyone from slipping past. As one of the brightest cybersecurity analysts in the business, she trusts in code more than she trusts in people. But when a sophisticated breach shakes the company she’s sworn to protect, the trail leads somewhere she never expected—straight to the woman she loves.

Cassandra Ward, a rising executive with ambition that could light up the city skyline, has always captivated Elena. Their chemistry is undeniable, their connection as dangerous as it is irresistible. But when whispers of corporate betrayal spread and Cassandra’s name lands at the center of suspicion, Elena is forced into an impossible choice: defend the woman who owns her heart, or expose the evidence that threatens to destroy them both.

In a world of ruthless boardroom politics, shadowy rivals, and secrets hidden behind polished smiles, passion burns hotter than trust. Each stolen kiss blurs the line between desire and deception, and every touch feels like it could be their last.

When the firewalls crumble and the truth finally surfaces, will love be strong enough to survive the lies that surround it? Or will betrayal be the one code even Elena cannot rewrite?
