The first time I met Max Sterling, he was a stranger on the Tube. The second time, he was the billionaire threatening everything I’d built.
I built my femtech company from nothing, and I don’t let men with money mistake my life’s work for an investment opportunity.
I also don’t fall apart in public.
Then, in the crush of a crowded Tube carriage, I do exactly that.
A panic attack in front of half of London. A stranger who noticed before anyone else did. A voice calm enough to make me listen.
Max is controlled without being cold, careful without making me feel fragile, and far too easy to want for a man I know almost nothing about.
For once, I let myself forget ambition, survival, and all the reasons trust is dangerous.
Then I learn the truth.
Max isn’t just Max.
He’s Max Sterling — the billionaire investor behind the deal that could change everything I’ve built.
And his name is only the first thing he’s been hiding.
I should walk away.
Instead, we become a secret neither of us can afford.
But when business, desire, and buried secrets collide, I have to decide whether Max Sterling is the biggest mistake of my life… or the only man worth risking my carefully controlled heart for.
Empire of Sterling is a steamy London-set billionaire romance with hidden identity, secret dating, workplace tension, corporate stakes, old-money secrets, emotional betrayal, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
