The Honeypot

Maddison Parker is loud, opinionated, and built like a goddess with vengeance running through her veins. After losing her last job for "passionate" reasons, she lands an interview at the prestigious Nights Tower. She expects a corporate shark; she doesn't expect Lucas Night-the emotionally repressed CEO who looks exactly like her secret online obsession, @helmetdaddy_xo.

Lucas Night built an empire on secrets and steel, but his only escape is the anonymous thirst-trap account where he finally feels noticed by one specific follower:

@booklover69. When Maddison struts into his office in leopard print and a "take-no-prisoners" attitude, Lucas's carefully ordered world does a full reboot.

The game of cat and mouse is no longer confined to DMs. Maddison is circling him, armed with the knowledge of his double life and a desire to see him crumble. Between late-night confessions and office encounters that blur every professional line, the power dynamic is shifting.

In a world where the Night's name is synonymous with danger, falling for the man behind the mask might be the most "deranged" decision Maddison has ever made. But she isn't running. She's ready to light the match and watch the empire burn-as long as she's the one holding the flame.
