Alexander Vance doesn't lose. As the ruthless CEO of Manhattan's most powerful corporate firm, he has built his empire on control, precision, and the absolute refusal to want anything he shouldn't have. Claire Harper is the exception to every rule he's ever made. His executive legal assistant. His sharpest weapon. The one person in the building who has never once backed down from him and the one he hasn't been able to stop watching for two years. They are the perfect professional partnership. They are also each other's worst idea. When late nights and high-stakes pressure begin to dissolve the careful distance between them, Alexander discovers the one problem his control can't fix: he's dangerously obsessed with the one woman he's not allowed to touch. And Claire is starting to realize she's been fighting feelings, not him. In a game built on power and desire, the most dangerous move is the one neither of them can take back.
