The Unlatched Door

THE UNLATCHED DOOR: The Lie That Set Them Free (by Velora Fox)

“Close the door. Now.”
Tessa Vale was supposed to make a simple delivery—drop a “package,” collect the cash, go back to her quiet graduate-student life.

Then she finds Apartment 37B… unlatched.

Inside is Caleb Kane: wealthy, dangerous-calm, and trapped in a corporate empire that watches everything. One wrong step, one wrong name, and you don’t just get fired—you get erased.

Tessa lies to survive.
Caleb lets her.

Because an unplanned woman in his penthouse is the one thing the system can’t predict. Now Tessa is forced into a new identity—Caleb’s “consultant”—and dragged into a world of surveillance, corporate control, and power games where every smile is a weapon.

To stay alive, they have to sell the story in public: exclusive events, ruthless executives, and a predator in a suit who’s already hunting her. The closer the net tightens, the more the act turns real… and the more dangerous it becomes to want each other.

Because the door wasn’t just unlatched.
It was a trap.
And the lie that saves them might be the only way out.
