Dopamine

Deymos Ford is used to keeping everything under control. A flawless billionaire with an icy temperament doesn’t allow real feelings into his life: for him, women are only a way to satisfy desires, and attachment is a weakness. That was the case until that night on the Island of Freedom.

Mia Weiss tries to escape a personal tragedy and an influential ex. By accident, she swaps places with her friend at a paid meeting… and for the first time she says “no” to a man who isn’t used to hearing refusal. From that moment on, Mia becomes his vulnerability—an intrusive thought, an obsession he managed to push deep inside. Until another chance encounter that flips everything upside down again.

She needs protection. He needs a flawless public love story to sabotage the plans of his rival and stay out of the attention of special services. But with every flash of cameras, every kiss, and every touch, the game stops being a game and turns into addiction—dangerous and irreversible.

They both avoided intimacy all their lives. But what if the line has already been crossed, and running away from each other is no longer possible?
