Young and ambitious, Taiden Woods doesn't play by the book. As a man at the helm of his media empire, he doesn't credit his success from playing fair. To make it to the top, he's had to lie, cheat and steal his way there. He's nothing more than a common crook dressed in a fine-tailored suit. A man who knows no bounds when it comes to getting his way. To the world, Taiden Woods is invincible.
Or at least, the next best thing.
One competitor stands in the way of Taiden and his rise to the top.
Career-driven and strong-willed Athena Reynolds is a woman afraid of failure. Her constant strive for excellence put her in charge of Healdsburg Corporation - a leader in the media industry. But a lack of finances, and a power-hungry rival at her neck, threatened to tarnish her company's good name.
Athena and Taiden struggle between right and wrong in a fight for power. As business and pleasure become the same. And the line between love and hate wears thin in their conquest to rule the other. There's always the risk of losing everything and the chance to have it all.
For Taiden, he'll find he may want to acquire more than Athena's company.
Who said all was fair in love and war?
