Ezra Hartley, a twenty-five-year-old junior associate at Xion Enterprises, is ambitious, talented, and eager to climb the corporate ladder. But his focus on his career has been tested ever since he laid eyes on Raven Blackwood, the company's formidable Senior Vice President of Marketing. She's older, powerful, and untouchable-a woman who exudes confidence and commands respect in every room she enters.
Ezra knows better than to mix business with desire, especially when it comes to a woman as high-ranking and guarded as Raven. But something about her-her beauty, her authority, the mystery behind her cool exterior-has captivated him in a way he can't shake.
When the company announces a weekend retreat to celebrate its 50th anniversary at a luxurious mountain resort, Ezra sees an opportunity to get closer to her. Away from the office and the rigid lines of professionalism, the rules might bend. What starts as a passing attraction soon spirals into something deeper, as the tension between them builds and threatens to cross into forbidden territory.
In this world of corporate ambition and hidden desire, Ezra must decide how far he's willing to go-and what he's willing to risk-for a chance at the one woman he can't seem to resist.
