Firewalls of Deception: Love and Betrayal in the Corporate Shadows

Elena Ruiz built her life on logic and precision, with firewalls strong enough to keep anyone out. As one of the sharpest cybersecurity analysts in the field, she trusts code more than people. But when a breach rattles the company she’s sworn to protect, the trail leads somewhere she never imagined—straight to Cassandra Ward.

Cassandra, a rising executive with ambition bright enough to light the skyline, has always held Elena’s attention. Their pull toward each other is sharp, undeniable, and increasingly risky. When rumors of betrayal spread and Cassandra’s name surfaces at the center, Elena faces a brutal choice: defend the woman she can’t let go of, or follow the evidence that could destroy them both.

In a world of boardroom deals, hidden rivals, and polished lies, passion runs hotter than trust. Every kiss muddies the line between desire and deception, every touch feels like it could be the last.

When the firewalls fall and the truth comes to light, can love survive the lies—or is betrayal the only code Elena can’t crack?
