At 39, Madison Ardent controls everything except the 24-year-old bartender who was supposed to be her weapon.
One kiss. One camera. One scandal that turned her into trending content while her competitors circle like vultures.
Now Ethan isn't just leverage. Now she's obsessed. With him, with his power over her, and how he destroys every rule that kept her on top.
In Manhattan's ruthless elite circles, where age is a death sentence and desire is a luxury she can't afford, Madison faces an impossible choice: surrender control or lose everything she's built.
But Ethan plays dirty. And he's already inside her head.
Some affairs are business. This one is war.
