A ruthless billionaire. A plus-size crisis manager who never loses control. When corporate warfare turns personal, their explosive attraction might be the most dangerous takeover of all.

Corporate crisis manager Paige Montgomery has built her reputation controlling narratives for the most powerful companies in the city. Her curvy figure is just another asset she strategically uses in male-dominated boardrooms. When billionaire investor Asher Harrington launches a hostile takeover against her largest client, she’s ready for battle—not for the devastating attraction crackling between them.

Beneath his ruthless reputation, Asher harbors an unexpected ethical framework and a mission beyond profit margins. Their boardroom confrontations reveal a connection far more dangerous than professional rivalry. But when company executives are linked to financial crimes connecting to an international trafficking network, Paige must choose between client loyalty and exposing systematic corruption.

Forced into alliance with Asher and his brother’s private intelligence firm, Paige watches her carefully constructed professional boundaries crumble. His protective instincts emerge with surprising tenderness, while her strategic expertise creates advantages beyond corporate calculations. Together, they navigate a conspiracy threatening both their professional reputations and survival itself.

As corrupt executives coordinate to eliminate them both, Paige discovers that true control comes through partnership, not isolation. But surrendering to the undeniable chemistry between them requires more courage than any corporate conquest.

“I’ve never wanted a partner like this,” she whispers against his mouth.

“Neither have I,” he responds, hands tightening at her waist. “Someone whose expertise complements mine instead of competing with it.”
