A cunning Manhattan lawyer and an unassailable CEO who is terrible in the kitchen but can fund an imbalance of power square off in a $50M lawsuit, only to realize that the true takeover is in their hearts.High in the glass-walled and mirrored monstrosity of Vance Tower, Katherine Pierce—5’ 5”, 90-60-90, a black-belt in three martial arts, a senior counsel who smiles so sweetly that she’d file contempt regardless of the charge—delivers a $50 million lawsuit to Lucas Vance, 6’ 2” CEO with storm-gray eyes and tight abs who closes more deals before he has to sign than most do in a lifetime.What begins as a corporate battle escalates into midnight lifestyle strategy sessions, greasy boardroom blood, and a flambéed sex tape that sends the stock spiralling down 38%. Katherine disarms gunmen with her stilettos; Lucas brings hostile clauses and a secret 51% voting stake of hefty stock to a merger, in Katherine’s name. Rivals Damian Holt and Serena Locke leak company secrets. A shadowy investor pulls strings from the 88th floor, revealed to be Katherine’s estranged father. Rooftop confrontations. Kisses in the stairwell. A bullet meant for the past seals their fate.
