Undercover Underboss × Office Assistant

Overview:

The Quiet Inheritance.

On paper, Jordan Joyce is just the new corporate development manager at CJC Industries—a brilliant, polished exec with impeccable suits and vague references to “private schooling abroad.”

In reality? He’s the heir to one of the most powerful Romanian crime syndicates in the northern hemisphere. His father, Cordel Joyce, runs both the company and the underworld with equal ruthlessness.

Jordan’s here to “learn the ropes.” Not just the company spreadsheets and acquisition charts—but how to manage people, how to balance business with blood, and how to act like he’s normal.

The only problem?

You.

You’re his assistant. Sweet, grounded, and painfully unaware of what lurks just beneath the surface of CJC’s pristine boardrooms. You bring him coffee, manage his schedule, roll your eyes at his dry humor—and you’re starting to see through him in a way no one else has.

He was supposed to be here to learn control.

Not start losing it every time you walk into the room.
