Ava Sinclair doesn’t mix business with pleasure—until she becomes interim COO and her new CEO is the one man she never forgot: Dominic Hale, the billionaire who once ruined her chances at the career she deserved. Dominic claims he’s changed. Ava doesn’t believe him. Their rivalry turns the boardroom into a battlefield of sharp words and sharper chemistry, and when a hostile takeover threatens the company, they’re forced into a brutal alliance. Late nights become close quarters. Close quarters become the kind of heat Ava can’t outrun. Dominic wants redemption—and Ava. But Ava’s learned power always comes with a price. To win, she’ll have to risk the one thing she’s always protected: her heart.
