Two CEOs. One ruthless rivalry. Zero intentions of falling in love.
Khantelle didn't claw her way from the heart of Texas to the high-rise boardrooms of Atlanta just to play nice. She built CB Tech from the ground up! brick by brick, deal by deal! and now she's one of the most feared women in the game.
Julian Blackstone, heir to a billion-dollar empire, is used to getting what he wants. And right now? He wants Khantelle's company. Problem is, Chantelle doesn't bow, fold, or sell.
What starts as a corporate tug-of-war turns into a fire neither of them saw coming. Between tense meetings, heated interviews, and one unforgettable night stuck in an elevator, the line between enemies and lovers starts to blur.
But in a world where power is currency and trust is a luxury, falling in love might be the riskiest move they've ever made.
Enemies in the boardroom. Lovers behind closed doors.
