Athena Waithera Maina doesn’t do relationships. Not because she can’t, but because she doesn’t want to. As the CEO of Wingi Enterprises, she’s built herself from the ground up: sharp heels, sharper tongue, and zero apologies. But, Athena also likes to play. Her rules are simple: legal, single, and under fifty, and she never breaks them. No strings. No emotions. No complications. So, when a gorgeous bartender at her favorite spot makes her forget her name for one unforgettable weekend, she chalks it up to good sex and a clean exit. Until he shows up at her office… as her boss’s son. Cassius Kariuki Namu spent twenty years abroad chasing success and losing pieces of himself in the process. He returns home to slow down, breathe, and remember who he is outside of spreadsheets and boardrooms. Then he meets Athena, a woman who commands every room she walks into and makes surrender sound like sin. She’s sharp-tongued, soft-bodied, and dangerously addictive. He told her it was just one night. He lied; he wants more. Her mind, body, and the heart she swears she doesn’t have to give. Now he’s using every tool at his disposal, including his father’s influence, to get close to her again. Athena wants control. Cassius wants her to let go. And when power meets passion, when the hunter becomes the hunted, someone’s bound to lose. In a city that never sleeps, Cassius has every intention of watching Miss Independent unravel—one breath, one touch, one dangerous kiss at a time.
