Synopsis
The board hired me to save the company, not fall in love with the CEO.
Tech billionaire Carter Slade is guarded, brilliant, and completely unwilling to let me do my job.
I have a plan to protect his company from a hostile takeover. And a rule about never getting involved with clients.
The plan is working. The rule is not.
He kisses me in a parking garage and calls it debriefing. He touches me and I want to forget all my rules.
But Carter’s hiding a secret from his past.
He goes cold every time I get close. I say follow the plan. He says knowing would put me at risk.
What he's protecting is about to come out whether he's ready or not.
The last time I trusted someone this powerful, it nearly ended my career.
When I discover his secret, my head says walk away.
My heart says stay.
I've always made the smart move.
Until him.
