My Rival CEO Became My Secret Lover

Imogen Avery is the powerful CEO of Avery Media, known throughout Chicago as the Ice Queen. She has spent years protecting her family's empire, hiding behind a perfect image of control while carrying one painful secret: eight years ago, her father buried a groundbreaking investigation written by a young journalist named Sage Calloway.

Sage never forgot.

After leaving Avery Media, she built The Signal, an independent media company determined to expose the truth no matter how powerful the people standing in its way. When The Signal's explosive first story shakes the Chicago media industry and threatens Avery Media's dominance, Imogen and Sage are forced to face each other again.

They should be rivals.

Instead, an unexpected connection begins to grow between them.

As professional competition turns into private conversations, late-night confessions, stolen moments, and undeniable attraction, Imogen begins to discover the woman beneath her carefully constructed armor. Sage, meanwhile, realizes that the woman she once blamed for her ruined career may have been trapped by the same powerful legacy she has spent years fighting.

But their growing relationship comes with a dangerous price.

Imogen is the CEO of the company Sage is challenging. Sage is the journalist exposing the secrets of Imogen's family. The media is watching them, the board is waiting for Imogen to make a mistake, and one photograph or one leaked message could destroy both their careers.

They agree to keep their relationship secret.

But secrets have a way of becoming impossible to hide.

When Imogen finally decides to expose the truth about her father's greatest betrayal, she must choose between protecting the empire she inherited and risking everything for the woman who taught her how to live beyond the ice.

Two rivals. One forbidden secret. One love neither woman expected.

And when the truth finally comes to light, Imogen and Sage will have to decide whether love is worth risking everything they have built.
