When ambitious journalist meets Chicago's most infamous playboy, she's convinced she has the perfect exposé lined up—until this mysterious entrepreneur starts dismantling her carefully constructed walls instead of letting her expose his secrets. Malcolm Saint is everything the tabloids promise: charming, wealthy, and impossibly guarded, but as she digs deeper, she realizes the real story might be the unexpected connection simmering between them. What starts as a professional assignment becomes dangerously personal when she discovers that Saint knows far more about her than she knows about him, and he seems determined to uncover the real woman beneath her reporter's armor. This is a delicious cat-and-mouse game where both players find themselves falling for the one person they should be keeping at arm's length.

Sultry R&B and dark pop for forbidden attraction and magnetic tension. Deep vocals, moody synths, and pulsing beats that capture seduction, vulnerability beneath the armor, and the electric charge when control slips away. Sensual, unapologetic energy.
