Not enough to destroy it. Just enough to make it tremble. _______________________________________ Levi Thorne, the billionaire CEO preparing to merge with Eli's company, recognises the precision immediately.

Born to a troubled mother and a father whose ambition eventually spirals into obsession, Evie's childhood is steadied only by the presence of Tommy Sloane, the boy who grows into a CEO and protector. But Evie's life is upended when her estranged father, Oscar Stanley, launches a violent bid to reclaim power he believes has been stolen from him.
