Her company is her life. His newest acquisition target. Maisie Rory would rather swallow broken glass than sell her family's legacy, "Rory Robotics," to a soulless suit like Shinki Soma. He's a human calculator in a five-thousand-dollar suit, a corporate raider who devours dreams for profit. She's a fiery, sarcastic engineer who speaks her mind and fights dirty. Their boardroom battles are legendary. Their insults are sharp enough to draw blood. And the white-hot, hateful tension between them could power all of Manhattan. After one particularly brutal negotiation ends in a stalemate, they make a deal outside the boardroom: They'll work out their frustrations in the bedroom. No strings. No feelings. It's just sex. But when a hostile third party threatens to destroy everything Maisie has built, the lines between enemy and ally blur. To save her company, they must form a temporary truce. And the one thing Shinki, the master of control, never calculated was falling for the one woman who refuses to be owned.
