Then she walked into the boardroom and revealed she had enough voting power to stop the sale of the company.
For four years, Reyarin Aven has been the invisible force behind Velaire—and behind its brilliant, controlling founder, Varisa Vail. She knows every meeting, every warning Varisa ignores, every weakness hidden beneath the CEO’s immaculate composure.
But when Varisa prepares to sell Velaire to a powerful corporate group, Reyarin finally steps out from behind the desk.
She hasn’t bought the company.
She has simply gathered enough power to make it refuse its founder.
What begins as betrayal becomes a battle over ownership, trust, patient data, regional clinics, and the future of everything Varisa built. Forced onto opposite sides of the boardroom, the two women must decide whether they can work together without trying to control each other.
The problem is that anger is becoming respect.
Respect is becoming desire.
And neither woman knows whether love can survive when one of them once had the power to fire the other.
