Eight years ago Sera Lindqvist walked out of Calder Vane's office with the pitch deck that made her rich and left him humiliated in front of his own board.
Now her company needs one signature he controls. She books the meeting knowing he can destroy her with a single no.
Calder Vane says yes. On one condition. Six weeks as his direct report, on his floor, in front of everyone who watched her walk out the first time.
Sera signs because she has ninety days and no alternative. What follows is not revenge. It is a slow, scheduled war waged in conference rooms, black-tie dinners, and rain-slick parking garages-until Calder orders an investigator to explain why she left, and the answer undoes him.
He thought he was the wronged party. He was wrong about that too.
A dark billionaire second chance romance with a bully hero who has to earn it and a heroine who never once lowers her chin.
