Jusline A.

She walked into his empire to destroy him. She never expected to fall for the devil himself. Nora Quinn doesn't rattle easily. She has cornered senators, exposed fraud and walked into rooms she had no business entering. So when her editor slides a folder across the desk stamped with one name Zane Ashford she isn't afraid. She should be. Zane Ashford built his billion-dollar empire from nothing, brick by ruthless brick, and he trusts no one.
When a sharp, impossible-to-rattle communications consultant walks into his building, he tells himself she is just an employee. Temporary. Replaceable. He is wrong. What begins as deception becomes proximity. What begins as proximity becomes something neither of them planned. Nora is supposed to be gathering evidence against him. Instead, she is sitting across from Zane at candlelit dinners, watching him lower his walls one careful word at a time, and realising that the man she came to expose might not be the villain at all.
The real threat is someone far closer to him his mentor, his most trusted advisor, the man who has been quietly building a trap for years. When the truth finally unravels, Nora must choose between the story that launched her career and the man who changed everything she thought she believed. And Zane must decide whether trust real, unconditional trust is something he can afford one more time. Emotionally intense, addictively readable and simmering with tension from the very first page, The Devil's Exception is a contemporary billionaire romance about two people who are equally dangerous to each other and equally unable to walk away.
Perfect for readers who love forced proximity, a heroine who never apologises for being brilliant, a brooding billionaire who finally meets his match and a twist that rewrites everything. Warning: Contains steamy scenes, emotional depth and a villain you will not see coming.
