Amanda Waters is no stranger to hardship. As a college student burdened by crushing financial troubles, her life takes a dark turn when she lands a job at Reynolds Enterprises. What seems like a chance at stability quickly spirals into something far more sinister.
Aaron Reynolds is not your average CEO. Beneath his polished exterior lies a storm of arrogance, cruelty, and an unrelenting need for control. He hides his true self behind a sharp smile, but the darkness within him threatens to consume anyone who dares to get too close.
Amanda and Aaron's first encounter ignited a clash of egos and a searing animosity. But when Amanda signs a six-month, no-exit contract with his company, she finds herself trapped in his world—one where power dynamics blur and hate has an unsettling way of resembling desire.
As their mutual disdain smolders into something far more dangerous, Amanda discovers that Aaron's secrets run deeper than she could ever imagine. Their volatile connection is an illusion, a dance of shadows that could either destroy them both or bind them in ways neither expected.
In a game where trust is a weapon and love is a threat, Amanda must navigate the treacherous waters of her own emotions. But in Aaron’s domain, even the light is dark, and the only certainty is that no one escapes unscathed.
What happens when two equally stubborn hearts collide? In Shadows of Control, love is not just an illusion—it’s a battle for survival.

Some people wear masks. Perhaps their wounds are so ugly that their greatest desire is to avoid looking at them in the reflection of the mirror.
What do they hide behind them?
