James Valencia is pissed off.
Having spent a decade in prison, for a fraud he never even knew he was committing...well, he's more than a little angry at the system that put him there. He blames his dead beat father, the police who arrested him, the girl who left him when the rubber hit the road, but most of all he blames the wall-street vultures who forced his family into the position they were in.
Now released, James has a plan to make the people who destroyed his family and his life pay...but what he isn't expecting, is to find a new face on the head of the corporation he has spent the last decade dreaming of sinking.
And quite a beautiful one at that.
Mya Josephson is on top.
Of the world that is. GQ called her the business woman to watch in 2014. Two years later Forbes was naming her number one on the 30 under 30 list at only 25. Last spring? TIME wrote across her wide grin "the woman running Wall Street"
But what happens when the woman who has everything is faced with the broken man who wants to destroy everything she stands for?
Set against the back drop of bustling, sexy, New York City, Risk and Reward is a story of love, lies, betrayal, and the things people will do to win wars of their own creation.
