Hostile Takeover

"You're shivering, Kincaid. Unfortunate. Because I'm the only heat source in this room, and I plan on burning you alive."

HE RUINS COMPANIES. SHE SAVES THEM. TRAPPED TOGETHER, THEY MIGHT JUST DESTROY EACH OTHER.

Rook Sterling is a shark. A ruthless venture capitalist known for stripping distressed companies for parts. He is arrogant, precise, and the only man who has ever outmaneuvered me. Vesper Kincaid is a viper. A crisis manager for the elite who buries scandals with a smile. She is cold, calculating, and the only woman I've ever wanted to ruin.

We were supposed to be attending the same high-stakes summit in the Swiss Alps. We were supposed to keep our distance. But when an avalanche buries the Hotel Edelweiss, we find ourselves trapped in the subterranean wine vault.

Locked in absolute darkness. Buried under tons of snow. With temperatures dropping fast.

We have two choices: freeze to death in our evening wear, or share body heat to survive.

But once I touch her, the three years of corporate warfare between us ignites into something primal. The line between hatred and desire vanishes in the dark. We might survive the cold, but when the lights come back on, will we survive each other?

Hostile Takeover is a high-heat, high-stakes standalone romance novella featuring a ruthless alpha hero, a powerful heroine, and a forced proximity scenario that melts the ice. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.
