I was the brilliant CFO who built Julian's startup into a unicorn. He was the charismatic CEO who secretly used our corporate accounts to maintain multiple mistresses. I found the hidden ledgers on a rainy Thursday. I didn't scream or cry. I smiled, poured his coffee, and began methodically dismantling his life. But when his lead investor—and primary mistress—tries to publicly humiliate me and steal my company, she realizes too late: you never pick a fight with the woman who controls the math. Everything is about to crash.

Clara Vance lost everything to protect her blind sister—her career, her reputation, and her freedom. Now working as a lowly forger, she expects a life in the shadows. But when a violent underground deal goes wrong, she catches the eye of Julian Thorne, a lethal syndicate boss who crushes empires for sport. To save her sister, Clara must surrender to a man who demands absolute control. As she enters his gilded cage, Clara realizes the true danger isn't his cruelty, but her own dark desire.

When a blizzard halts the Thorne Resort gondolas, pregnant Nora and her best friend Harper are trapped in freezing winds.

Nora loses her baby; Harper loses her career. But when the ice thaws, Nora stops weeping. She’s about to burn his billionaire empire to the ground, and no apology will stop the avalanche.

I was reviewing drone footage for our firm’s biggest gala when I saw them. My fiancé, Julian, and the junior publicist I’d handpicked, Chloe. Tangled together in the VIP tent. I didn't scream. I didn't cry. Instead, I smiled, closed my laptop, and went to work. Julian thinks he’s stealing my company and my life. He doesn't know I've already begun a methodical, legal annihilation of his entire world. By the time he realizes he's playing my game, he won't have a single piece left.
