THE POWER BETWEEN US Maya thought she had already lost everything when her mother died. She was wrong. Three months after her mother’s death, Maya receives a mysterious letter with one name written across the envelope: Adrian Vale. Adrian is a powerful businessman who has built an empire through money, influence, and fear. He trusts no one, and he has made one promise to himself—he will never allow love to become his weakness. But when Maya walks into his world carrying a secret connected to his family, everything Adrian has worked so hard to control begins to fall apart. Maya wants answers. Adrian wants the truth hidden. And someone powerful will do anything to make sure the secret in that letter never comes to light. As danger brings Maya and Adrian closer, hatred slowly turns into attraction, and attraction becomes a love neither of them expected. But loving Adrian comes with a price. Maya must decide whether she can trust the man everyone fears, while Adrian must choose between protecting his empire and protecting the woman who has become more important to him than his power. Because when love and power collide, someone always loses. And sometimes, the person you were warned never to love is the only person worth fighting for.
