verdict
i came for the morally questionable billionaire making terrible decisions and stayed for the man who slowly unraveled because of one woman. tate's character arc is what made this book for me.
vibe
boss x assistant, billionaire romance, emotional damage, impossible bargains, and watching an emotionally unavailable man fall so hard he doesn't recognize himself anymore.
