Malaya Richardson has built an empire from the ashes of tragedy. At sixteen, she survived the crash that killed her parents. At thirty-one, she runs Cleveland's most ambitious urban-development firm-powerful, polished, untouchable.
Until a single name threatens everything she's fought for.
Sebastien "Bash" Stone: ex-felon turned ruthless mogul. He doesn't just compete-he conquers, dismantling rivals with the precision of a master strategist. When Stone Industries sabotages Malaya's signature project, a corporate war ignites.
But Malaya is no ordinary opponent. Every move Bash makes only fuels their collision: boardrooms become battlefields, secrets turn into weapons, and the line between obsession and desire blurs until neither can tell if they're adversaries or something far more dangerous.
In a city of glass towers and hidden knives, two self-made titans will risk everything-power, pride, even their hearts-to win.
Who will own the ashes when the smoke clears?
