Punished by the Playboy: An Enemies-to-Lovers, Age Gap Romance. Rules We Break Series

One viral kiss wrecked her future. Five years later, the man who lit the match buys her building-and assigns her to fix his image. Elle Hartman rebuilt her life brick by careful brick, trading scandal for strategy. Now Roman Wolfe-ruthless heir turned CEO-makes her the face behind his redemption campaign. The office becomes a war zone: forced proximity, a contract she can't refuse, and rules that blur the second he looks at her like a promise and a punishment.
From Manhattan boardrooms to Paris galas, every appearance is a chess move, every touch a trap. The tabloids want blood, his rivals want leverage, and the past won't stay buried: a viral video, a jealous ex, a returning fiancée, and a family empire that feeds on fire. To keep her career-and her heart-intact, Elle must control a story that refuses to behave, while Roman asks for the one thing she swore she'd never give again: trust.
High-heat, high-gloss, enemies-to-lovers with an age gap, razor-sharp banter, and a hard-won happily ever after.
