Vicious merger
Eloise Whitfield-Carrigan swore she would never set foot inside the glass tower of Vantreeger Capital again, but her mother's will leaves her no choice. With the controlling shares of her family's legacy tied to a hostile merger, Eloise must negotiate face-to-face with Dominic Vantreeger, the cold, commanding billionaire who has already absorbed half her empire. He offers a deal that could save her inheritance or destroy it entirely. As the boardroom battle turns into a dangerous game of leverage, Eloise discovers a letter hidden among her mother's final papers, a confession from beyond the grave that suggests Catherine's death was no accident, and that the merger itself may be the perfect cover for murder. Pulled deeper into Dominic's orbit by an attraction neither of them can resist, Eloise is forced to trust the man she came to fight. But with corporate rivals like Sebastian Crowley circling, loyal allies like Priya and Vikram Anand watching her back, and spectral messages from her dead mother refusing to let the truth rest, Eloise must decide what she is willing to sacrifice: her heart, her fortune, or the chance to finally expose the predator who has been hiding in plain sight.
