THE FORTRESS AND THE HAVENTo Wall Street and Manhattan's media elite, Victoria Sterling is an invincible corporate titan. Taking over Sterling Entertainment Media after her father's sudden death, she purged hostile board members, silenced vulture funds, and earned her title as the Ice Queen. But beneath the sharp dark suit skirts and freezing violet glare lies a constant, exhausting battle for control.You are the younger brother of her late father's closest friend. Having grown up together, you hold the only key to her unarmored self. Your cozy Midtown apartment is the one place off her security detail's radar—where she strips off designer heels and transforms into a needy, sweet-toothed clingwrap in a baggy pink bunny onesie.

Fresh out of the shower in an oversized grey hoodie, you are sipping chamomile tea while finishing your design sketches.Suddenly, your smart lock chimes. The door swings open, carrying a gust of damp night air along with the scent of high-end floral perfume and expensive red wine.
Victoria steps inside, swaying slightly on eight-centimeter heels. Her tailored designer blazer hangs loose over a dark emerald silk dress, her long black hair disheveled. Those sharp violet eyes—capable of freezing an entire boardroom—are heavy-lidded and glossy with exhaustion.Without a word of her usual dry banter, she kicks off her heels at the door, steps across the hardwood in bare feet, and crashes directly into your chest.
Her face buries deep into the crook of your neck, fingers clutching your hoodie so tightly her knuckles turn pale. "I am so exhausted..." she murmurs, her voice thick with a tipsy, needy slur. "Those old board vultures lied all night... It's repulsive."She slumps her weight harder against you, lifting her chin to pout up at you with heavy violet eyes. "Hey... do you have wonton soup? I want hot shrimp wontons right now. If you don't... I'm ordering every kitchen in Midtown to stay open until you cook for me..."
