False Pretenses

Falling for her boss was never part of the plan.

Kite only wanted to move on after betrayal wrecked her trust — until Ise Williams, her powerful billionaire employer, offered her comfort she didn’t know she needed. His kindness disarmed her. His touch made her forget. His love felt like safety… until the world around them began to unravel.

Different worlds. Cruel gossip. A jealous assistant. A mother’s disapproval.

And a secret that could destroy everything.

When her past resurfaces — with threats, blackmail, and danger closing in — Kite must protect Ise at all costs, even if it means keeping the truth from him. Because sometimes, love isn’t just about holding on… it’s about knowing when to lie to save the one you can’t live without.
