His Private Asset

I uncovered his society's most dangerous secret. Now the billionaire assigned to silence me refuses to let me go. As a forensic auditor, Nadine Baird knows every lie leaves a trail. While reviewing the accounts of the powerful Marbury Foundation, she discovers a concealed ledger tied to the scandal that destroyed her father. One exported file is all it takes to attract the attention of Warren Marbury, the foundation's ruthless chairman and the secret society's most feared Keeper. Warren was raised to control every threat before it reaches the Governing Circle. Nadine is the first threat he cannot eliminate. He offers her a brutal bargain. She will finish the audit under his supervision, surrender every secret she uncovers, and follow his rules. In return, he will protect her career and give her access to the records that could clear her father's name. But Warren's protection feels dangerously close to possession. Confined inside his guarded penthouse and drawn into a world of masked gatherings, inherited power, and billionaire loyalties, Nadine begins to see the man beneath Warren's cold control. He watches her too closely. Touches her like restraint is costing him everything. Protects her with an obsession that could destroy the legacy he was born to inherit. The deeper Nadine follows the money, the more impossible it becomes to separate the monster holding her captive from the man risking everything to keep her alive. Because the ledger recognizes Nadine as more than an intruder. And the society Warren serves may have been waiting for her return. His Private Asset is the first book in The Masked Elite trilogy, a dark secret society billionaire romance featuring blackmail, forced proximity, masked encounters, an obsessive protector, a competent heroine, and one dangerously possessive couple whose story continues across all three books.
