Julia Thorne was hired to dismantle an empire.
As a top-tier corporate strategist, she lives by numbers, logic, and ruthless precision. Her latest assignment-overseeing the acquisition of Blackwood Industries - should be no different. Until she meets Arthur Blackwood.
Arthur is not a man who surrenders control. A powerful CEO guarding a family legacy, he rules his world with discipline, dominance, and an unbreakable will. From the moment Julia challenges him in the boardroom, their clash becomes something far more dangerous than a negotiation.
Trapped together during high-stakes talks and forced into constant proximity, professional lines blur as tension ignites. Every confrontation sharpens the pull between them. Every victory comes with a price.
