When ambition collides with obsession, the line between power and passion blurs.
 
Maeve Donovan built Midnight Skyline Studios from the ground up—an emerging force in Portland’s luxury real-estate marketing scene. Fiercely driven and unapologetically independent, she has everything to lose when a shadow from her past resurfaces, threatening the empire she’s fought to protect.
 
Enter Lee Hae Jin, the enigmatic CEO of Eclipse Horizon Holdings. His company’s investment in her latest project could secure Maeve’s future—or destroy it. Calculated, magnetic, and impossible to read, Hae Jin doesn’t just play by his own rules—he creates the rules everyone else is forced to follow… except Maeve.
 
What begins as a partnership forged in corporate strategy quickly spirals into a dangerous entanglement of control, temptation, and secrets neither of them can afford to expose. As negotiations turn to late-night confrontations and the air between them burns hotter than Portland’s city lights, Maeve must decide whether surrendering to his world will save her—or consume her whole.
 
Set against Portland’s rain-soaked skyline, Scorched Boundaries blends corporate intrigue with an irresistible dark romance where trust is a gamble, love is a weapon, and redemption comes at a cost.
 
Book One of the Burned By Desire series—a slow-burn, high-heat story filled with obsession, betrayal, and a love that leaves scars long after the last page.
