Watch Me Break: a Blackstone Empire Novel Book 1 Blackstone Empire Novel – Forbidden

She walked into his building with six dollars and a scholarship.
He let her stay because of what she found.

Nora Quinn wasn’t supposed to be at Blackstone.
Not someone like her — twenty-one, broke, fresh off an Amtrak from Springfield with a thrift-store blazer and a 3.97 GPA that got her through a door she had no business opening.

Holden Blackstone runs a $400 million empire from the forty-second floor. He doesn’t take interns from community colleges. He doesn’t notice the girls behind the glass desk.

Except he noticed her.

Then she opened the wrong file.

Now he has two options: let her walk out of this building with everything she knows — or keep her close enough to control the damage.

He chooses to keep her.

What neither of them planned for is what happens when close becomes something else entirely. When the man who built walls around everything starts tearing them down for her. When the girl who came to survive starts fighting for something that could destroy them both.

He calls the shots. She knows his secret.

And neither one of them is walking away clean.
