He controls empires. She holds the key to unraveling them. Together, they could rule—or destroy—everything.

What begins as a tactical alliance spirals into a volatile bond fueled by trust, betrayal, and an undeniable attraction. As enemies close in and allies fall away, Victor and Emma must navigate a maze of deceit, power plays, and emotional vulnerability.

His Rules, Her Heart is a thrilling, character-driven romantic suspense novel that blends action, intrigue, and emotional intensity into a gripping tale of survival, strategy, and unexpected love.
Michael Paul is a storyteller of shadows, strategy, and the human heart. With a deep love for characters who walk the line between control and vulnerability, he crafts stories where power is tested, rules are broken, and love is always the most dangerous game.
Before becoming a full-time author, Michael worked in strategic consulting, where he developed an eye for motive, manipulation, and the art of reading between the lines—skills that now fuel his fast-paced plots and layered characters. He draws inspiration from film noir, political thrillers, and the kind of love stories that linger long after the last page.
When he’s not writing, Michael can be found sipping black coffee, reading espionage novels, or exploring cities that feel like secrets waiting to be discovered. He believes in tension, in tenderness, and in the thrill of a well-earned twist.
His Rules, Her Heart is his debut novel in a new series exploring what happens when power meets passion—and what survives the fallout.
