once bitten twice shy

The Maid is a gripping tale of power, revenge, and an attraction that defies all reason. Julian and Juliana’s first encounter was anything but ordinary. A single misstep—Julian colliding into Juliana on her way to a high-stakes contract meeting—triggered a chain of events neither of them could have foreseen. Her drink spilled all over him. His ego refused to bend. In a moment of unfiltered rage, Juliana lashed out, unaware that the man she had just insulted held her career in his hands. When Julian retaliated by ensuring her contract was destroyed, Juliana’s world crumbled. Then came an unexpected offer—a new job, courtesy of his assistant. Desperate, she accepted, only to realize too late that she had walked straight into the lion’s den. She was now Julian’s personal cook, trapped in his house with no way out. What began as months of relentless torment soon spiraled into something far more dangerous. Beneath the surface of their battles, an undeniable tension simmered, blurring the lines between hatred and desire. Julian, the man who once sought to break her, found himself ensnared in a feeling he couldn’t control. She was supposed to be nothing more than a mere employee. Instead, she became an obsession he could no longer escape. But in a house built on secrets and hidden agendas, love might not be enough to save them from what lurks in the shadows.
