Ex's dad
Sloane thought she knew her boyfriend. Until she found out he’d been cheating on her for months—with someone he swore was “just a friend.” Humiliated, angry, and desperate to reclaim her dignity, she goes to the last person anyone would expect: **His father.** Xavier Hale—CEO, feared negotiator, and a man who never breaks composure. Reserved, razor-sharp, and far too handsome for someone his age. The kind of man who doesn’t need to raise his voice—he *just looks* at you, and you listen. Xavier offers her a deal—not money, not comfort. **Guidance.** He’ll teach her how to dismantle his son’s ego, reputation, and emotional control… but **under his rules**. Private lessons. Close quarters. A dangerously intimate sort of mentorship. What starts as strategic meetings becomes something heavier—charged looks, lingering touches, the kind of tension that feels like a dare. He wants her to understand exactly what power feels like… and she wants to learn everything he’s willing to teach.
